Wodiczko uses his giant projections to comment upon or subvert states of authority. Have students discuss some of his projections and the contexts in which they are used. How successful are they? What is he trying to say in, for example, Boston, or Israel, Scotland or even Montreal? What does he say about identity in, for example, San Diego? Or war in Madrid? In the pre-Internet, pre-digital era, what is the impact of such projections?
