In 2015, Daniel Everette Hale released documents revealing devastating failures in the U.S. drone war program, among them the widespread killing of civilians.
For his truth-telling in the interest of humanity, Daniel has been prosecuted under the Espionage Act and is now being held in the Alexandria (Virginia) Detention Center awaiting sentencing on July 27, 2021. He faces up to 10 years in federal prison.
Please go to www.StandWithDanielHale.org to find out how you can call on President Biden to pardon Daniel and call on Federal Judge Liam O’Grady to sentence Daniel to time-served so that Daniel can be immediately released on July 27.
These images were created on Saturday, June 26, 2021 when supporters of Daniel Hale hit the streets of DC. They used spotlights to project images of Daniel and messages calling for President Biden to "Pardon Daniel Hale." Most photos by Eleanor Goldfield

Backbone and allies like IVAW, GodePink and more utilized creative tactics to grab the media's attention and make our shared values more visible at the opening of the Bush presidential library and policy institute.
An administration whose failed policies and warmongering doesn't deserve a memorial, the fact that people laugh at the idea of a Bush Library is a testament to their folly. The Bush Lie-Bury is a reverse memorial to the 8 years (a following wake) of fallen lives and squandered opportunities that has led this country down such a terrible path.
By day, activists used bobble-head paper mache puppets rendered in the likeness of Bush, Cheney and the rest of his gang to force Dallas police to arrest them, giving us a cathartic if only symbolic relief. At night, activists agitated and inspired onlookers with light projections in downtown Dallas affirming and making our values visible. The creative tactics utilized earned the attention of the media who has largely ignored objections to the memorial.

Gamma World - MCA Original Facade
Vivid Light transforms Sydney into a wonderland of 'light art' sculptures, innovative installations and grand-scale projections for all to enjoy.
May 23 - 9 June 2014
The MCA Projection takes the audience on an integrated journey, moving from one space to another in a constant flux of movement. Inspired by Artist Jess Johnson, the MCA building morphs into an interactive and dynamic performance space, coming to life, changing its appearance, and even seeming to change its structure at times through the use of isometric designs, old school gaming, pop up 3D books and forced perspective. As each chapter evolves we have built drama and emotion through animation and 3D visual effects tricks that will take the viewer on an abstract, emotional and playful journey through constantly changing worlds.

Tidal Reed Garden: Artists: Aura (Gioia Murray and Louise Jarvis)
Tidal Reed Garden is a bed of artificially produced reeds that float along the line of a harbour wharf. At night the reeds become glowing, sculptural illuminations that cast dancing reflections on the water.
Each reed is shaped to mimic a natural water reed and are animated by the swell of the water, movements in the tide and wash from passing ferries.
Tidal Reed Garden celebrates the beauty and power of elements in nature. Artists Gioia Murray and Louise Jarvis’ approach to the work was developed through their ongoing interest in biomimicry – design that seeks to be sustainable by emulating nature’s time-tested patterns and strategies.

Beat: Artists: Arup Singapore Pte Ltd (Chengyu Wang / Cherry Agnes Narita)
Collaborators: Dan Foreman, Rob Tsu, Ying Sun, Sudhir Bommu, Michael Markieta, S1t2 (Chris Panzetta and Naimul Khaled)
Beat comprises a series of large translucent shapes that emit an intense pulsating light display when touched, timed to the rhythm of the human heart.
Initially, the work appears to be a group of inert objects that throb slowly with a relaxed pulse of light. Those in the vicinity may be intrigued by their gentle demeanour and indulge an instinctive impulse to touch one. Touch stimulates the objects to respond, by connecting them to the person’s heartbeat. The objects increase the intensity of their pulse to keep pace with the individual’s own cardiac rhythm.
Participants delight in gratifying their curiosity and discovering the concept of this installation. Eventually, they allow it to rest – until the next touch wakens it again.
The creators of Beat utilised a luminance lighting technique involving a small low-power LED light source to internally illuminate the translucent material. This creates a large glowing surface area with maximum impact and minimal light loss. Sensors housed inside the objects detect a human pulse through the fingertip and trigger the LED to replicate the participant’s heartbeat with a pulsating light.
The installation, while fun, inclusive and lighthearted, performs an important role in creating awareness of how simple lighting can promote controlled use of energy consumption. It also taps into the energy of the festival and makes Vivid’s heart Beat.

A 3D-mapped projection transforms the façade of Customs House into a series of massive ‘musical sculptures’, in a poetic explosion of light, colour and sound. Each of these ‘sculptures’ depicts a family of musical instruments which you can ‘play’ in real time. Take your place in front of throngs of festival-goers and create a visual and sonic masterpiece on the face of this iconic Sydney edifice. Vivid Sydney is delighted to welcome back Danny Rose, the design team that last year created an extravaganza of colour and light on the façade of Customs House, with Move Your Building. This year, the team again transforms the frontage of this historic landmark to bring you Play Me! , another breathtaking, interactive, 3D-mapped projection. You select one of the ‘musical sculptures’ from a touch screen, get onto a platform in front of Customs House and ‘play’ the sculpture, bringing it to life in glorious torrents of ever-changing colour, light, form and sound.

Immersive 16-channel surround sound installation with a sculpture of moving lights which could be observed from a distance (up to 25 km away), from the edge of the installation or lying down underneath the work and enjoying being fully surrounded by it. This was a collaboration between lighting and sound designers Paul Collison and Russell Goldsmith. The soundscape was built from sounds recorded by the NASA Voyager missions in the 1970s and compiled into a 14 minute and 40 second piece. The seamless loop was designed to run exactly 50 times over White Night’s 12-hour duration.
The sculpture "Legs walking" by Leeds-born Kenneth Armitage was erected in City Square, Leeds outside Mill Hill Chapel.
