this style of light art is really effective and interesting it changes surroundings that you see everyday and brings them alive giving them a new leach of life and making people appreciate the architecture in their area again.
this idea is really interesting but i think it takes away the aspect of christmas as it is a traditional event and some people like me do not like change also the images shown on the news where did not have a christmas theme to them but more of a abstract feel of shapes and concerts. This works for other event but christmas has a very obverse identity of snow,farther christmas,christmas trees and certain colours as reds,greens and golds.
i am really interesting in changing the way you see building in a different life and how you can change the way people view their city in to a way they have never experience before.
this relates to the event that i attended in 2008 in Piccadilly gardens called Handprint. this was interactive installation by Alabstair Eilbeck. the structure was set up so that a image was projected on to the city tower building. members of the public were asked to scan there hand on a technical scanner on the oppressive side of the garden and then the hand would be projected on to the building. the idea behind this was to take a childhood past time of finger painting and bring it up to date in a technology way. In the same way as the Even Grant it was an idea of make the public look at their building in a different way giving them a image of a new life and making people appreciate the architecture that they see everyday and possibly don't even notice.
