[Nettime-bold] World Trade Center - laser sculpture memorial

["Paul D. Miller" <anansi1@mail.earthlink.net>]

Two artists, Julian Laverdiere and Paul Myoda, are doing a project on 
the World Trade Center disaster, and they've been commissioned to 
build the memorial that will stand where the towers once stood. 
Julian did the cover of the New York Times magazine last week, and it 
had a preliminary portrait of what the memorial will look like. Two 
architects, Gustavo Bonevardi and John Bennett, two NY architects, to 
have a virtual re-creation of the towers that will encompass lasers 
operating in a sequential field approximating the size of the towers 
that will shine over the New York Skyline. It's reminiscent of a 
series of projects a friend of mine who passed away recently, a 
composer named Iannis Xenakis, did a long while ago to show how 
history and science can be used to show new ways to think about 
culture and human progress. I think that he would see this project as 
a way of using mathematics, science, and art,to create and re-build 
in the face of total devastation. I think it's an amazing project. 
It's called "Phantom Towers" in the NY Times piece, but it will be 
called "Towers of Light" upon completion. For more info, check out

architecture put to the service of renewal... a beacon of reason in 
this age of cynicism and "infinite justice"


more info will be available in a little while, but during the 
interim, check out the site.
