Signal!
or Samba do Parede
Two weeks ago I showed a photo of the projection of a blue “No Signal” error message on the house diagonally across – last night there were tests with signal where they tried to find the best beamer position and settings on the wall (Portuguese: parede) of the small storehouse/garage straight across:
And it’s indeed a display for the restaurant/bar “Rubens”1 in the courtyard who will have a samba night next Friday.
- which probably also hold the rights for the projected images – if you don’t want them here (even though it’s a little promotion), just drop me a line and I’ll remove them ↺
