In the Batman stories, the people project a distress signal, the "Bat Signal," when they want their hero to rescue them On Nov. 17, these signals were projected on the facade of the Verizon Building, not to call for a hero, but as a "mic check" of the kinds of things that people have been chanting in their occupations across the nation.
Do Not Be Afraid.
via Boing Boing, this footage of the "bat signal", the projections on the Verizon Building as thousands of people in New York peacefully demonstrated on the Brooklyn Bridge on November 17. The interview tells how the idea came about, how they found a place for their projector, how they created the projections.
Here is a remix with music by Hans Zimmer from the Batman movie. Note the hashtags in the title #N17 #Occupy, and the Anonymous iconography!
