On januar 18, 2002 I have sent the subjoined e-mail to the Sundiallist:
Ad!dict Creative Lab is a Belgian magazine about publicity and communication. Four times a year it launches a theme for grafic designers and photographers.
The last theme 'Mutation' became on september 11 unexpected a topic of brutal actuality . The attack on the WTC towers was a mutation and mutilation of the New York landscape.
Give a creative answer to the attack, Ad!dict asked.
The edition of januar 2 of Ad!dict gives a survey of the reactions.
The most original project is from the Design Academy
in Eindhoven (The Netherlands). The students of this academy calculated
the shadow of the towers on the moment of their collapse and propose to
lay down for ever the contours of the shadow in the street image.

On the Discovery Channel last night there was an hour long show titled
"Rebuilding Ground Zero"The description from TV Guide online: Detailing the rebuilding process
at what has become known as Ground Zero, the 16-acre area of New York
City where the World Trade Center was destroyed.One of the incidental background views was of a hand making a drawing of
an analemmatic sundial with an analemma as a dateline. This, as we know,
will not work. The narration at the time was not associated with
sundials.I wonder if anyone else noticed this, or if anyone knows any more about
a sundial of any nature being included in plans for the rebuilding of
the World Trade Center.Regards,
