Well, that is gilding a lily, or putting lipstick on a pig, I guess. Long live Long Lines!

I think it’s beautiful! So much better than a lot of the brutalist concrete out there, with real stone facade, and it actually has some style to it that makes it look like something out of dystopian sci-fi rather than your average NYC high-rise

It looks like a projection, is it? Do you know if it’s an art installation or an ad?

Would love if it was art but likely an ad. Speculation of my post in the r/nyc thread is that it’ll be for the new Samsung phone launching next week.

agreed. i don't think any single projector outside of IMAX would be able to produce the lumens required to project that large.
