Yes, that is a projection. And yes, it is freaking awesome.
This is the work of Jenny Holzer who happens to have a show up at the Whitney now. I kinda really want to see her show, but alas, stupid school gets in the way. Hopefully, I'll get to see her over Spring Break, but we'll have to see about that.
Her work primarily focuses on politically charged words and phrases she chooses and she does a lot of public projections of them on huge buildings (I love installations, and I wish I had the resources to do one). I think I also remember reading that her favorite medium is the poster, which I find incredibly awesome. It's sort of the melding of the commercial with the artistic, and I dig that (which is a little strange since I'm not the biggest fan of commercial art).
GO TO HER SHOW AT THE WHITNEY. I'm sure it's killer.
