Years ago when the America’s Cup was held in Fremantle I was privileged to spend 12 months roaming the town investigating alcohol and drug related behaviour. The project came with a bar tab in every pub and a host of ‘preventative’ hepatitis injections, just incase I stepped on something untoward during one of my diversions down a back alley.

Returning to the scene on Friday night it was a delight to see Fremantle alive again. The curbside tables were full and the pubs overflowing, this time thanks to the Perth 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships link
Either muscle memory or stupidity soon had me venturing off the main drag. As usual it wasn’t long before I was rewarded. This time by an amazing light show Projections On High put on by Perth company VJ zoo.com. Beautiful images were projected on 18 buildings.
Curiosity had me pondering how?

Parked off to the side was an average looking car with a $30,000 projector on top.
Next to the car was a person sitting at a card table tapping on a laptop pulling up the images.
While the images were remarkable as you’ll agree (I’ve split them across a few posts), even more amazing was the scene of strangers gathering talking about the images.
Better than that was the fact that there wasn’t a security guard or policeman in sight and yet Kate from VJzoo sat alone with the equipment … perfectly safe … now that really did warm my heart.

Thanks so much for your kind words, we had a wonderful time running Projections on High – there was so much participation from the local community and it was so great to see so many families out enjoying the evening 🙂
My absolute pleasure it was such a great night. Good to see the storm stayed away for you on Sunday night too. I’m posting a couple of the kids photos soon (Wed) and the one of you. Thanks so much for putting it on and good luck with any future events. Keep in touch.
