Object Annotation by Zachary Dean Norman
March 17th, 2008 10:47 AM / Location: 41.928415,-87.70714The contents of my note:
Logan Square Monument,
Does the eagle which sits on top of you have an unobstructed view of the Chicago skyline?
Are you two in close communication?
Are relations between Doric Columns and eagles still strained?
Are you capable of answering any of these questions?
Sincerely,
A concerned resident of the neighborhood for which you are an emblem.
Measurements
I diligently measured the size of the note so I could cut an equally sized piece of pizza box to paste to it, providing structural protection against the forces of nature.
Twined Note
This is an image documenting my original plan in its nascent stage. I had planned on using the twine shown here to tie my note around the base of the monument.
Logan Square Monument
This is the monument for which I wrote the note. I had planned on using the twine seen in previous picture to tie the note around the base of the monument but I grossly misunderestimated the circumference of seen monument. I therefore had to entertain other possibilities.
Note on Lamppost
I ended up tying the note around a lamppost in front of the monument. I feel this was a satisfactory alternative because the note is clearly visible to anyone approaching the statue from the front.
View of note, posts, monument.
This image was taken from the front of the monument. Note the conspicuousness of note to anyone approaching the column. Also note the eagle which sits on top of column. I specifically address the eagle's ability to see the Chicago skyline from its perch in my note.

Good preparation. I can tell that you tought this out and truly cared for the dignity of your monument. Original approach, hats off to you sir.
Well done! A brilliant introduction to the game!
Chicagø is on fire, if I may say so.
Thanks Dax. I look forward to the Journey to the End of the Night.
Nice..definitely think the lamppost was a better idea, then people wouldn't think you obstructed it at all. love the originality as well as the lamination..haha...cowabunga bro
I'm still looking for a few good chasers for Journey...







I applaud your completion. I like that you took the consciousness of the monument in thought, it expresses a real respect for the structure.
