This is just a quicky, Youdopia. I saw a video of this amazing, truly amazing, light show, video mapping. I know little of the backstory, but you’ve seen this clock tower before in every movie about Europe. Why? Because is one of the only European cities that wasn’t bombed to ruin in World War 2 (the big one).
So. This beautiful, complex, amazing, astronomical clock turned 600 recently, and every one of the thousands of people that showed up to celebrate recorded the event on their cell phones (seriously, watch the video).
Click the link to read the Wikipedia entry about this marvel, before your watch the video, so you’ll have some context. Then spend ten minutes watching this fucker in HD, and in full screen. It’s the Coolest Shit Ever.
Nice content. I wish I knew how many projectors they used.
Found it. Christie CP2000-ZX. Interesting. I expected a Sony or a Barco. Christie in prague who’d a Thunk it.
Interesting Fact. This event could have occured 8.33 times if the building was built the same time the Zurich Door was built. Amazing.
Nice! That is an interesting fact. I love the long reach of history. Thanks, man.
