In New York last night, as thousands of Occupy Wall Street protesters took to the street and to the Brooklyn Bridge, one group was able to project pro-Occupy messages on the Verizon building downtown.  As Occupiers took to the bridge, here’s what was projected from a window in a city housing building across the street.

Here’s what they put up:

“99% / MIC CHECK! / LOOK AROUND / YOU ARE A PART / OF A GLOBAL UPRISING / WE ARE A CRY / FROM THE HEART / OF THE WORLD / WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE / ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE / HAPPY BIRTHDAY / #OCCUPY MOVEMENT / OCCUPY WALL STREET / list of cities, states and countries / OCCUPY EARTH / WE ARE WINNING / IT IS THE BEGINNING OF THE BEGINNING / DO NOT BE AFRAID / LOVE.”

In an extensive interview on BoingBoing with Mark Read, one of the planners of the projections last night, he describes how they found a spot to make it happen:

Opposite the Verizon building, there is a bunch of city housing. Subsidized, rent-controlled. There’s a lack of services, lights are out in the hallways, the housing feels like jails, like prisons. I walked around, and put up signs in there offering money to rent out an apartment for a few hours… I got one call from a sane person Her name was Denise Vega. She lived on the 16th floor. Single, working mom, mother of three. I spoke with her on the phone, and a few days later went over and met her. I told her what I wanted to do, and she was enthused. The more I described, the more excited she got. Her parting words were, “let’s do this.” She wouldn’t take my money. That was the day of the eviction of Zuccotti, the same day. And she’d been listening to the news all day, she saw everything that had happened.

“I can’t charge you money, this is for the people,” she said.

While tons of versions of the sequence made it to YouTube, the best one comes via AnimalNY, shot by @NerePhotography.

We like this one too, a lot.
