The Heidelberg Project.

As far as art goes, it doesn't get any more Maker than the Heidelberg Project. We visited this wild work of public art as part of our rust belt tour. Matt cut together this monatage of our visit for your viewing pleasure. The music is a mashup I created by taking a podsafe track by Maniax Memori and cutting in the voice of Charles Williams, a Heidelberg resident we interviewed.
I also made a virtue of necessity by utilizing the sound of a crow that kept squawking all over our audio. Listen for it!

I gotta say - one of the best videos posted on the site thus far. A lot of hard work and effort went into this. Well done fabricators.

I agree James. This sets a new bar for the blog.

If you're ever in Detroit, the Heidelberg Project is a necessary stop. I had never seen photos prior to our visit, so when we pulled up in Geoff's van it was a pretty surreal moment. I imagine with some clever post-production chops -- and a less dreary day -- you could really make the colours sing. The Heidelberg Project doesn't have a lot to do with our topic, fabrication, but you'd be hard-pressed to find another urban neighbourhood as 'maker' as this.
