Aubrey Fitzpatrick: Free Post

I came across this when I was doing research for another class.  The link is to Jenny Holzer's project titled "For the City," which is light projections of poetry and classified documents on landmark New York City buildings.  The documents are those United States government documents released under the Freedom of Information Act.  Jenny claims she shows "what I can with words in light and motion in a chosen place, and when I envelop the time needed, the space around, the noise, smells, the people looking at one another and everything before them, I have given what I know."  I love the amount of people this affects.  I love how in your face it is.
