Description
We developed this typographic projection as part of the
St. Patrick’s Day installations along the River Lee in Cork City.
The Irish and English translations, “Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine” meaning “In the shelter of each other we live”,
are projected onto the iconic R&H Hall building, at the Port of Cork. This fantastic projection location has multiple vantage points from across the river as well as other areas around the city centre, a helpful advantage to encourage a dispersed audience during the covid social-distancing stages. 

Design decisions were made to ensure the safety of all
viewers so that this piece could be functional without causing
a dangerous distraction to any oncoming traffic, from the river,
on Horgan’s Quay. To achieve this, special considerations were made for the type legibility, colour contrast and animation treatments.

The projection came to life when the sun went down in the
week leading up to St Patricks day, with large numbers of
viewers coming into the city to watch the illuminated spectacle along the north and south-facing quays.
