A battle has been fought out at the Cop26 venue in Glasgow over outdoor projection. A guerrilla protest by an environmental group called the Gastivists involved them projecting slogans onto the official venue such as 'End Fracking' and 'Cut Methane Now'.
The protest happened late on Tuesday (9 November), and was countered
by the event’s official projectionist, who projected their own messages on top of
the guerrilla messages with their own saying 'Go Away' in large red
letters.
“It was quite a surreal thing to see,” Neal Huddon-Cossar, a Gastivist
campaigner from Rome told The Guardian newspaper. “It was quite comical really
because in the end they just give us a big story to run
with and made our projections appear much more attractive and dramatic because
they had some pretty pretty cool backgrounds. But it was quite apparent that
they were trying to block out our images.”
