guerilla projection?

[gnomatron]

I can only find one thread on here relevant to guerilla projection, so here goes;

I'm in the UK, scotland specifically, and I want to do a bit of guerilla projection.

I'm thinking of driving round town one night and projecting images on various buildings, probably just a few minutes to half an hour at any given location, out of the side of a car. Possibly also some stuff from a moving car.

It's an art project/for my own amusement; not advertising or logos or anything like that.

I know obstructing the public highway could be an issue, so I'll avoid projecting over the road, but what else should I do? If I don't tell the council/police am I likely to get my projector taken off me if the police take an interest?

it depends on the plod that stops you and what mood theyre in, they might think its funny, they might have had a row with their wife and take it out on you. remember to always be polite to pigs (not calling them pigs is a good start) as they can totally remove your liberty. generally if you treat them like a human they appreciate it and are more likely to listen.

watch out for peoples windows, i would go for a corporate building at night, as they have big walls and few people there late at night. you know your area best, where will you will get an audience? where are people dicks and will kick up a fuss? etc etc. good luck dude!

yeah, gonna go on a bit of a wander and scout some locations sometime soon. I'll keep your advice in mind, cheers!

speak to baron on here - he did some absolutely mint projections round Leeds the other week

take a look here and see how the grown ups do it.

thanks for the kind words owen

we did both mobile and static stuff from my vw van, flying a cruise missile round and exploding it

pm me to discuss it further, but you'll need hefty battery power and an expensive pure sine wave inverter to do it properly

we have an inverter genny which we ran with the sliding door wide open

will post a video when we get it soundtracked....

and more to come for april fools day!

cheers for that link - awesome work!

interesting link! You'd think that sort of thing would be quite likely to get into serious legal trouble, but they seemed to get away with it.

I'm not sure how "properly" I want to do this - it's a first attempt, as it were, with no particular aim beyond amusing myself, so I want to try and do it cheaply!

On March 20th we executed a guerrilla projection action at ground zero NYC. We got good media coverage from a number of news outlets, but fox news decided to lie about what happened.... Here is the video enjoy.
