Grids of lights projected on buildings all around the Meatpacking District in the early morning today had passers-by intrigued. What did they mean? And who was the team with walkie-talkies setting up the bizarre installation? And why?
It was a crew from Obscura Digital, a San Francisco-based applied visual technologies company. They were calibrating their equipment at around 3:30 a.m. and the set-up itself was an interesting show: Grids of lights on about 10 buildings around Little West 12th across from Pastis. But that was only the set-up.
Tonight at 9 p.m. comes the show. If you’re in the Meatpacking District, look for the buildings to be turned into six-story projector screens for a multi-media presentation that the Obscura team was being very coy about.

Oh God, PLEASE don't start calling the Meatpacking District "MePa". There are enough abbreviations and acronyms for NYC neighborhoods as it is. Really, TriBeCa and SoHo oughta be enough. "MePa" is just lazy and ugly.
