“Racing Extinction” by Louie Psihoyos and Travis Threlkel (2015)
|
A team of artists and environmentalists, led by Louie Psihoyos and Travis Threlkel helped bust a L.A. restaurant called Hump for serving whale meat. They used a 15,000-lumen video projector mounted on a retractable steel frame that can extend and pivot in any direction to show the image of a whale in front of the restaurant for a number of days. Soon enough, restaurant patrons stopped eating at Hump and complaining to the city. Soon enough, the business had to shut down.
