Painting Political Graffiti With Light

Posted by Hemos on from the cool-concepts dept.

Johnny Fusion writes "American Graffiti has found an interesting way to plaster political messages across large buildings and doing no damage. They use light. The website is a little vague on the technology involved. The front page refers to the projection as a "light board", and the press release says they use high-powered digital projectors. The end result is a 40' x 120' billboard of light that is even less permanent than a bicycle spraying chalk messages. Despite the name, George Lucas has nothing to do with it, so you can be assured that the slogans will not be retroactively changed after the election."

  1. Bush is the most disliked US president in history. by Futurepower(R) · · Score: 1, Offtopic


    They are not just painting political graffiti with light. They are against Bush.

    It's unprecedented: There are 44 well-funded groups against Bush. There are more than 3 movies and more than 35 books about Bush Administration corruption.

    Magazines like The Nation are against Bush: 100 Facts and 1 Opinion -- The Non-Arguable Case Against the Bush Administration

    There are hundreds of web sites like Dubya Speak, that talk about some negative aspect of Bush's personality. Dubya Speak quotes Bush: "It's only fair if other countries treat us the way they treat them." If he meant, "It's only fair if other countries treat us the way we treat them", that is something important about which George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden agree.

    Foreign leaders and politicians call Bush a "moron" and an "idiot".

    George W. Bush is certainly the most disliked U.S. president in history.

    If I remember correctly, there were, in the early years, four major books published about Clinton. They said Cliton was having sex with slutty women. They tried to find something wrong with his small losing investment called Whitewater. They said he may have, at some time during his being governor of Arkansas, associated with people who later turned out to be involved in questionable activities. Someone in his adminstration committed suicide. The books were interesting, but a little lame.

    The books about Bush are different. The books about Bush are about major governmental corruption.
