GoVision Delivers the World's Largest Mother's Day
Card to Wives, Mothers of Soldiers
|
During the war in Iraq, GoVision wanted to do something to support the effort by helping those still
here at home. In order to do that, the company recorded Mother's Day messages from approximately 20
soldiers in the 1st Calvary Division of the U.S. Army, based at Fort Hood, Texas, for their wives
and mothers, all of whom live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas. The cards were "delivered" to
the women at a special reception held in their honor on May 11, where the cards were displayed on one
GO BIG unit's 16 foot by 9 foot LED screen.
Tears flowed freely from many of the wives and mothers in attendance at the reception as they heard
the words from their own soldiers as well as those from other soldiers in their loved one's division.
Each card recipient received her own tape of the cards as part of a Mother's Day gift basket.

GoVision's Go Big Truck Becomes Moving Art Exhibit
LED screens have become a form of art. One of GoVision's GO BIG units was part of a moving "artwork"
during the Vita Brevis program at The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) in Boston, May 13-15. The
screen was used to display Remedy, a new performance and video work by award-winning
choreographer Ann Carlson in collaboration with Mary Ellen Strom.
For the first half of the day on May 13, GO BIG drove around the Longwood Medical Area of Boston,
displaying the video as it drove. It then sat stationary outside the ICA for the second half of the
day. On May 14 and 15, the GO BIG unit was set up in Copley Square, where members of the public were
invited to work with Carlson to create on-the-spot portraits.
"GoVision's mobile unit is the perfect gallery for Carlson's Remedy, which was commissioned for
our ICA/Vita Brevis program," said Jill Medvedow, James Sachs Plaut director of the ICA.

GoVision debuted its second mobile unit, dubbed GO BIG 2, on March 27 at a private reception held at
the Texas Motor Speedway. GO BIG 2, valued at $1 million, mirrors the first GO BIG unit, featuring a
complete on-board control room and a 9 foot by 16 foot BARCO DLite LED screen, all built within a
40-foot custom truck.
GoVision is now bringing the excitement of Texas Motor Speedway to its fans in an even bigger way through
a partnership between the two companies. Govision's inaugural broadcast of the racing action was
during RPM Week-Texas, March 27-30. Both GO BIG units were strategically placed at the race track
and the Dirt Track to give the fans a big picture of their favorite cars and drivers.
