Painting the Flat Iron Building

Last Friday night, Clear 4G Wireless and Mobispray hosted an event outside of the Flat Iron Building on 23rd Street in which participants could paint the exterior of the building. The Mobispray technology allows them to spray paint designs by way of a light projector, making them large-scale and similar to graffiti.

I heard about the event through Twitter, and even though it fell on the same night as a work event I had to attend, I still made sure to see this light spectacle for myself. Once I reached the Flat Iron District and saw the Flat Iron covered in paint from a far, I started running—I was so excited to see one of my favorite New York City buildings in a new... light.
