In fact that was my mother&#8217;s day present. What a great idea to use the outside of buildings as movie screens. This one, however, was not flat and that&#8217;s where the technological wizardry came in. Here&#8217;s my <a title=\"Previous post on Song 1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/2012\/03\/right-round-here\/\" target=\"_blank\">previous post regarding<\/a> the optics.<\/p>\n<p>It was a beautiful clear night with a slight breeze. All ages, all kinds of people were out, hand-in-hand, in groups, with families and individually, enjoying\u00a0 the same experience with perhaps different meanings for each. It was one of those moments in time where you felt the community stopping the hectic pace around them and coming together to enjoy the beauty of the moment. Here are some video clips that I have spliced. Of course you had to be there to get the full sense but one takeaway is I can&#8217;t seem to get the hauntingly, hip, <em>&#8220;I Only Have Eyes for You&#8221;<\/em> song out of my head. You can hear and see the street activity with buses whizzing by and eerie vocals of Tilda Swinton&#8230;..I tried but couldn&#8217;t not get my videos to reduce in size to be able to post so here&#8217;s the best I could find to give you and idea.
