The FISH BRICK Project takes a flying leap via e mail to Ginza City Japan
to be shown on the side of
"Le Cafe Doutor" (June 28 through July 4th)
located at one of the most famous intersection in Japan. Le Cafe Doutor is
owned
by Doutor Company which is very well known in Japan. (like Starbucks in the
US)
All 100 bricks, both concrete and virtual made the trip, zipped to Ginza.
This is similar to the changing
screens and animations shown high on the buildings of Times Square in New
York.
Have a look at the famous Ginza intersection!
