Maritime Museum














The idea of presenting the information we create and design as a sort of investigation means that the actual ways in which we are saying we have aquired information has to also be planned. We are not visiting this country in the beggining, in fact we are not certian what is there to begin with. So the 'evidience' will have to be found objects or documents, like artifacts washing up on the shore, or found photographs or wreckage. To get a better idea of what sort of things these could be we took a trip to the Martime Museum. Saw lots of measuring instruments, compases', insignias, and these kind of etched globes which were really interesting. Also saw a some really good things on whirlpools and waves, which got us thinking alot too. Kind of got sidetracked by a chinese new year preformance there. We also went to the observatory, interesting objects there to do with time and space. Best thing we saw all day was a drawing of a whale washed up on the shore, look for the man measuring the dead whales massive penis.
