Projecting movies and art on the sides of buildings is a little old hat. Everybody does it. This other idea, though, came to me in a dream a couple months back. In movies, real buildings stand in for something they're not. Consider Toronto city hall standing in as an enemy headquarters in a Jackie Chan movie, or an entire street in little, old downtown Guelph pretending to be WWII Germany in a made for TV movie. It's everywhere. I play a game, given the number of American movies shot in Toronto, where I look for buildings I know.
So here's the idea: project film depictions of buildings over top of the buildings themselves. Show that real building, with its normal, every day use, juxtaposed against what someone else has imagined it to be.
