Seattle New Year’s Eve celebrations at the Space Needle 2021

I've did a quick search here on forum and I was unable to find anything about that event. This show was emitted at New Year's Eve, and it's loaded with symbolism. I'm not trained at all in reading art, but a few symbols were pretty obvious for me: double-helix, unicursal hexagram, Monarch. I've passed this video to some of my friends and their reactions were always ambivalent. Stunning visuals and audio with eerie feeling.

I saw some very short clips of this, but what struck me about it, and more recently with the 'virtual parade' at the inauguration for Biden, was how the establishment are trying to drag us all into a virtual world where one isn't allowed to experience life in the flesh anymore but is instead forced to stay home and 'experience' it all on a screen. Even more so now with the lockdowns. And obviously there's a number of reasons for why they prefer to have us locked up at home.

As for any symbolism, whilst i am curious to see what they have dreamt up this time - if those kinds of minds are indeed behind it - personally i don't spend too much time trying to decipher it, because issues like the lockdowns make it pretty clear what their agenda is. And one only needs to take a brief look at the performances of some popstars to see just what kinds of twisted, ridiculous garbage they're putting out there.

Was all of that simply CGI and broadcast on the net. I mean, in real life at the Seattle needle, there was nothing, right?

To my knowledge, it was all CGI. This video shows what could be seen on screen and then it pans to a window over looking the needle at the time of broadcast:

Here's an article confirming the above: Seattle's Space Needle welcomed 2021 with a virtual light show that was out of this world

As stated on the Space Needle website, organizers used sky-mapping technology and video footage to create the spectacle, which was only visible on screen. People who visited the landmark in person only saw the Space Needle lit up in a magenta color.

Wow, that was super lame then. I mean, people may as well have watched avatar or something. At least there were some human actors in that.

The company responsible for putting the spectacle in Seattle was quite popular in the past for their projection mapping technology:

In case of Seattle it was filmed in advance and rendered, so yeah, it was quite cheap. But what caught my attention, in the article describing how they had done it:

While the plaudits continue to roll in for The Dream, its almost unbelievable success begs a very important question: could this ambitious dream-come-true be taken one step further, into the real world? Maxin10sity’s Tamás Vaspöri certainly thinks so.

“The beam lights and the mapping effects on the structure could be made today, no problem,” he said. “We could project onto special mesh screens so the audience could see holographic effects and (with enough projector brightness) even project onto the clouds above. With this in mind, I would say real-life sky mapping is not too far away; it’s just a question of the technology. Technology and time.”

Seems to be a good technology for staging an alien invasion?

I think you hit the nail on the head so to speak. I have often thought about how a transition to 4d would be like. If we were stuck living on our couch in a virtual world, would we notice the changes around us?
