spotted on the net

st9fan posted these pictures in a dark corner of the net, but to no avail, we found ‘em:

These were taken at Meran, Italy at the recent [un]defined event in parallel with Manifesta.

After much pushing and shoving, we agreed to try projecting directly on the concrete of the parade ground.

Much to our surprise, it worked! Having big meaty projectors helped a lot here, but the addiction is fatal to the budget…

In the background of this shot, the columns to the stage roof can be seen:

This was a marvel of modern engineering, it was possible to raise and lower the roof by means of 4 pully&chains and 4 motors, on each column.

No, there was no synchronisation between the motors, and one night someone futzed with it, leaving the roof tilted like a broken dollhouse. Luckily no damage done.
