1. FORMAL: The opposite of projector bombing. An invitation sent out to encourage people to come to a planned projection on a building. Audience stands in streets placing text into multiple speech bubbles through text messaging. The speech bubbles are placed next to the windows of the building. The performance and content is driven by the audience and passersby. As a planned performance the rules of the performance could be stated before hand and posted at the event, perhapos int he form of flyers or postcards. Here the rules could be explained, thus reducing the visual clutter of having to make the rules/instructions part of the projection. Though there is an audience passersby are allowed and encouraged to participate.
A formal event would require more planning and notice for set up. It would require scouting a location or finding a fixed location that I would have to clear in advance to set up a projection that had the right coverage and location
2. INFORMAL: This is a spontaneous projection event. It relies on the public int he street to play with the speech bubble/bubbles. It could be as infromal as proejcting from a car, as long as the projection was legible. Or it could be shown froma predetermined location... like from a window that looks out onto a good surface to project onto... a good surface meaning, multiple windows, but with enough space between the windows to fit in the bubbles. This approach would require a mobile system for projecting... a car, batteries.
Considerations: foot traffic, low light, clear instructions, call to action, clear display (in focus, easy to read, bright enough to see).
Additional coverage: besides participating at the location I'd liek to set up a video feed that posts to the web, or is displayed elsewhere so that others may effect the system and play with the content of the bubbles. This adds a whole other dyanmic to the system.
