Is Text Art. Is Also Light Art? Counts as Text Art for Sure.

I had the good fortune to experience this in person a little more than a week ago at Box13.


Pablo Gimenez-Zapiolas drove his car through the neighborhood around Box13 with a projector strapped to the passenger seat, projecting the poetry of local poets onto every wall, fence and shrubbery he passed.


I walked with a small crowd of visitors a few blocks around the neighborhood past industrial sheds, empty lots and various businesses. Pablo circled our route, overtaking us several times, each time the bright-white lettering jostling its way across every surface to the right-hand side of his vehicle. it was mesmerizing.
