Dr. Keith Tidball, who is a Senior Extension Associate in the Department of Natural Resources at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, mentions 19 Years in an article for the blog "the Nature of Cities" titled "Greening in the Red Zone: Thoughts on disaster, resilience and community greening in the peopled landscape". Dr. Tidball, who experienced the animation when it was first shown at the Changing Matters exhibit at the international conference Resilience2008 at the University of Stockholm, focus in this article on another form of response to calamity than the protest:
"Another form of response is somewhat more muted, but in the end, perhaps equally, or even more profound. I am referring to the response by both individual and groups of humans to return to 'nature' when calamity strikes, to actively seek intimacy with other living things, to retreat (or advance!) to life-affirming interactions in verdant, alive contexts."
