New York's most iconic building played host to a stunning art show this past weekend, as the Empire State Building became a canvas for massive images of endangered species.

The Oceanic Preservation Society created the gorgeous light presentation to promote its new documentary, Racing Extinction, for the activist event "Projecting Change: The Empire State Building." The project is led by the Society's Louie Psihoyos, a photographer and documentary filmmaker, and Travis Threlkel, of San Francisco's Obscura Digital. It was conceived with the aim of doing the "the most dramatic thing we could do to get the world to know about what we're losing," 

The piece featured what Psihoyos described as a "Noah's ark"–worth of animals, including the manta ray, the snow leopard, the lemur, and other endangered species.

El edificio más emblemático de Nueva York fue sede de una impresionante muestra de arte este fin de semana pasado, el Empire State Building se convirtió en un lienzo de imágenes masivas de especies en peligro de extinción.

La Oceanic Preservation Society creó la magnífica presentación de luz para promocionar su nuevo documental, Racing Extinction  para el evento activista Projecting Change: The Empire State Building. El proyecto está liderado por la Sociedad de Louie Psihoyos, fotógrafo y documentalista, y Travis Threlkel, de Obscura Digital de San Francisco. Fue concebido con el objetivo de hacer el "lo más dramático que podríamos hacer para que el mundo sepa acerca de lo que estamos perdiendo".

La pieza aparece como lo que Psihoyos describe como un "Arca de Noé" - con animales de valor, incluyendo la manta raya, el leopardo de las nieves, el lémur, y otras especies en peligro de extinción.
