'Guerrilla Projection' Planned for Ground Zero



NEW YORK -- Rather than a sit-in or a march, one group has decided on a luminous statement about the fourth anniversary of the Iraq War.

A group calling itself the Glass Bead Collective is planning to project images onto a building at ground zero using a 100,000 lumens projector. That means it will be bright.

Those gathered are asked to light candles as part of a vigil.

Glass Bead Collective describes itself as bringing together diverse professionals to create works that "recontextualize'' culture and the world we live in. It was founded in 2002.

On the group's Web site, a projector is shown peeking out of the back of a van.

The group says that the 100,000 lumens projector they are using is one of two in the U.S. right now.
