On my original thread that disappeared after my initial offering, Mark Stapleton posted the following:
To me some of the details of this story seems very hazy and imprecise[.]
"The covert installation...of a balcony on the 91st floor of the World Trade Centre" is meaningless until the writer specifies which tower he refers to. Why the haziness? Is it contrived? Apparently Charles has the book, and this is his thread, but when I asked the question--a pretty simple and straightforward question, imo--there was no response from Charles.
Also, the 18 month time lag between the appearance of the B thing and the 9/11 event seems like quite a lengthy gap to me.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if this affair was related to 9/11 as I believe strongly that Mossad were involved in 9/11 (as well as many other events blamed on terrorists or lone nut assassins).
For now it just smells like bullshit, imo.
Mark, I did not quickly respond because of the circumstances surrounding the aforementioned disappearance. Let me do so now.
The B-Thing is copyright 2001, Verlag Der Buchhandlung, Walther Konig, Koln.
In a nutshell, the book purports to document a March 6, 2000 attempt by art students occupying "studiospace provided by the lower manhatten cultural council" (all quoted passages are reproduced as they originally appear in the book, replete with poetically licensed grammar, punctuation, spelling, and line breaks) on the "91. floor of world trade center 1."
"gelatin is on a floor with other artists who are part of this studio program.
gelatins space (the window, where the action will happen), is walled in with a
system of cardboard boxes.
"other artists sharing 91. floor do not know what we are planing and doing.
the construction of the balcony and all other preparations are not visible
for them."
The narrative continues:
"the balcony is a prefabriacted construction, made by gelatin.
one person at a time will be able to stand on it.
the balcony will be camouflaged.
it will be built to be as less visible as possible for any passerby on the street.
it will be taken apart the moment after beeing pulled back in."
Further:
"one window will be taken out.
the removing of the window is done in a professional and secured action.
no constructive parts of the building will be removed or damaged.
there will not be any visible traces, after the window will have been put
back in."
"nobody but gelatin is officially involved into the project.
there will be an attorney telling gelatin how to behave.
there will be an attorney responsible to handle the case for gelatin."
A brief section of glossy color photographs "documents" the project. Individuals, apparently of college age, are depicted; all males are turned away from the camera. Two Asian females appear in full-face shots. The majority of pages depict drawings and calculations.
Photos of the balcony -- a narrow, cramped space protruding between exterior support columns -- appear to have been taken from ground level, and these images are grainy and, well, unconvincing. Also, there are photos that appear to have been shot from the balcony itself, with a portion of the building in frame for scale and verification purposes.
One more note: The group commonly offers two spellings of its name: "Gelitin" and "Gelatin."
