Manhattan was in lockdown, with police swarming everywhere, and people were told by the authorities to run and hide inside their homes. So we decided to stay in Brooklyn and project on one of it’s most iconic and most loved buildings: the Brooklyn Academy of Music. BAM didn’t know about it, and at first security was suspicious, but as soon as they saw the message, they embraced us with approval. Even police officers who drove by gave us a warm nod and beep. It was a sweet moment when we saw a plea for peace trump the rules…

Simple, clever and effective, this is defnitely how to use an ipad… it makes me want to get one to “make future magic”… I love this because it’s pretty much what the Audi robots in Trafalgar Sq did for LDF 2010 but without the fanfare…
