Please can everyone who is planning or organising events through their working group, send a representative with the event proposals to meet at the UBS building on a Monday (every Monday) at 3pm to discuss the best way to co-ordinate these events. This is the Events Planning and Co-ordination meeting and it takes place once a week in order to facilitate that all events planned do not overlap or coincide with other events that are planned by  the various working groups.
Many thanksTanya Occupy LSX

Hi All

Not really sure which working group to send this to, so am just sending it through to the general groupspace and leaving it open for people/WG to make contact.

A friend of mine, who has been loosely involved with the occupation from the very beginning, and is very sympathetic to what we are trying to achieve here, runs an installation and animation company that does very high end mapped projections for museums, bands, DJs etc. He has been expre4ssing an interest in doing a project at St Paul's for some time and we have been discussing it informally but really need to open up the discussion to a broader forum and connect up with any working groups that want to be involved or would be affected. 

It would be great if we could incorporate this into a bigger event. visually it is likely to be stunning, the concept is incredibly democratic with SMS content everyone could contribute to and that we could tailor make to the situation. combined with some key speakers, celebs, music anything this really has the potential to be eye catching and headline grabbing if we make sure we attract some press for the event, livestream it and make get it up on youtube asap after the event.

John does this professionally, has been able to borrow state of the art equipment and has the trained professionals to operate it. 

It would be a shame to not exploit this to its full potential. If we can all pull together and coordinate with upcoming events and ideas this could be spectacular.

For more details on what he is proposing to do and how that may link in with other things planned, see the email below. Have copied John and his colleague in on this email as they have been trying to contact some of the working groups already but have so far not heard back from anyone. Know we missed the process meeting last night, but this is unlikely to 
happen until next week so there should still be potential to work it in 
with planned GA topics etc. Could anyone who thinks this is an interesting idea, would like to liaise on the execution, contribute to content or link up with other events please contact John Munro (john at immersive.eu) and Mark Calvert (mark at immersive.eu).

Thanks!
I was about to email you say that we aren't getting anything back at all!
If it stays like this I suggest we just tell the relevant people we are coming (it will be next week now) and we then project what ever we all decide we want to see up there. 

+ use the laser SMS kit too.

cheers

Hi all,

I hope this email finds everyone well.

My name is John Munro and I run an installation and animation company with my business partner Mark Calvert.

We constantly use a lot of high-end projection and lighting equipment, and we have spoken with our suppliers and friends who are willing to lend us the following kit:

One very bright projector powerful enough to cover a large part of St Pauls,
One good laser rig with the ability to SMS messages into the laser rig,
 to then project messages onto St Pauls + Solar Generator to power them both.
We also have the potential to use a few laser rigs, and do from a few positions to maximise coverage.

We will self fund all the crew for this, and we are getting the equipment for free or at the least, very cheaply. 

Anja Nyberg and Kristin Harris (info tent heroes) have been keeping us up to date with whats going on at the site, and we would like to offer our services for one night of projection and laser messaging onto the building.

The laser messaging is following the spirit of the occupation and everyone can get their say as to what goes up there, as its all done via SMS into the laser rig.
The projections need to be pre-programmed, and it would be great to get some statements from all in this thread, so we can create the typographics/ animations to go up there. We have also contacted George Monbiot to see if he has any messages he would like to contribute to the projections.

We need to plan a date to do this also- we were hoping to do this one evening this coming week. Ideally we should make sure the press get down there too, it could be a great photo opportunity.

We are looking forward to chatting soon,

Cheers!

John and Mark
