The Giant Statue Project and Frequency Modulation
McDowell describes a project to build ten-story "Giant" statues in 21 cities that project human faces. She speculates these structures could be used for frequency modulation or "idol worship" to gather and influence large crowds, noting the strange placement of new LED lights in high-poverty areas of Philadelphia.
Contact in the Desert, Night Vision Goggle Technology
The discussion concludes with details about the upcoming Contact in the Desert event and the use of night vision technology. Leslie explains the differences between Generation 2 and Generation 3 goggles, noting that high-quality Gen 3 units typically cost between $3,600 and $4,800. She will be hosting viewing events at the conference, including a specialized session at Giant Rock.
