ruth and i saw julian and paul do a presentation on this...their big worry is that the project will be co-opted by various folks for symbolism which they (the creators) don't intend -- eg one proposal was to have the 2 light beams be red and blue, for firemen and policemen. as time goes by this co-option seems more, not less likely. so my own guess is that the project isn't going to happen. it would have been great if it had gone up during the first month; after that it seems less and less directly relevant and more ideological. although having it turned on for a week at the first anniversary, say, would make sense to me.
