"Using the Apple font, collaborators' statements and phrases were projected to mimick branding concepts, where we are regularly exposed to influence, manipulation, instruction, fear and pressure from retail and social media" he said.
"In this latest street projection short: Epic Project, themes about war, violence and humanity have stolen and recontextualised lifestyle marketing concepts - using similar techniques of the large tech companies.
We also wanted to portray the contrast between the usage of technology - the devastating impact of US bombings versus the latest historical Moon mission. The former witnesses innocent families fleeing, sheltering and being killed - it is divisive and oppressive. Whereas the latter unites many parts of the world whilst gazing up in awe. The commonality is, that we are all looking up into the skies to see our destiny - curiously and ominously, but the extremes are shocking.
By projecting it onto local buildings we bring it closer to home, as this all affects us all in some way. And the walls speak back. Violence is a breakdown in language."
