Occupy Wall Street meets public projections

For those of you who weren't there on the bridge tonight, here's a fantastic use of the power of projected images in public space.  I need to find out more about who was behind this, but it was pretty fantastic.

More 3D architectural projections

The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria

This artist does some really amazing things with LED lights mounted on a wall to look like lo-res filmic images.  This installation at the Museum of the Moving Image seems like a great excuse to get out to Queens to this great museum!  Unfortunately it closes tomorrow...

This exhibition also looks interesting to members of our class (and also, unfortunately, ends tomorrow):
