It’s the first projection mapping display in Scotland used for an arts project (they’re occasionally done for commercial purposes; it’s really impressive and ambitious for an arts project, which you’ve got to admire).</p> <p>I wouldn’t recommend running past it because it’s several minutes long and you’d get cold in your running kit. But do go - from 6pm-midnight until 18 March.</p> <p>While you’re there, check out the displays at either end of George Street: Charlotte Square and St. Andrews Square.</p> <p>Visit the <a href="http://enlightenedinburgh.wordpress.com/" title="enLIGHTen website" target="_blank">EnLIGHTen website</a> to learn more.</p> <p><span><br/></span></p>http://runedinburgh.tumblr.com/post/19008390401http://runedinburgh.tumblr.com/post/19008390401Fri, 09 Mar 2012 12:56:00 -0500enlightenedlightenedinburghedinburgh festivaladam smithScotandprojection mapping<a href="http://enlightenedinburgh.wordpress.com/2012/03/07/social-media-call/">If you run past Edinburgh Royal Society tonight...</a>: <p>… you might see the launch of a projection mapping display as part of EdLIGHTen festival.
