PROJECTION BOMBING

Step 7 ALT. SET UP: CITY POWERED

One of the easiest ways of powering a projection system in the city is provided by the city itself. This is inherently dangerous and FREE, so we try to do it whenever possible. But be warned: people and pets have been electrocuted before in NYC from just touching the lampposts, so use extreme caution when thinking about reaching inside them. Good luck!

Step 1:
Find a good projection spot.

Step 2:
Look for a lamppost.

Step 3:
See if its base panel is open.

Step 4:
Open the panel (if locked use a hex key) and see if a 3 prong outlet has been installed. Not all lampposts have three prong outlets.

Step 5:
Plug in and go.

Something about opening up the lamppost sounds illegal...

[_soapy_]

Dangerous from a legal PoV too. Certainly in the UK you would be arrested for stealing the electricity, as well as Health & Safety offences, tampering with public property, etc. as well as the obvious "Breach of the Peace" catch-all for anything fun but not yet illegal.
