Tales from the Flexitariat: the sadness of the scientific lamp maker
Posted August 6th, 2008 by doll_yokoMy current flexi-job in the Land of Cog involves research on an arts project. It's a good gig – my colleagues/managers are old friends, the hourly rate is better than normal here (AUS $27 per hour), and the work interesting. The core of my work is interviewing artists and tradespeople who have been partnered in a professional exchange project.

Lost Music
Posted July 28th, 2008 by LindsayMy research today took a poetic wander. In thinking about the electromagnetic environment and how 'on land' we are submerged in modulated mumblings, my thoughts turned to the electromagnetically silent world of the deep, a world where radio and light don't penetrate, a world that can only be felt through other senses; the skin, the emotions, sound. Today I started looking at the Titanic.

Titanic Hull
Posted July 28th, 2008 by LindsayThis is a picture (2004) taken of the hull of the Titanic 92 years after she sunk. The wreck lies at approximately 3,500 metres below the surface of the water, which is the same distance as the tops of some alpine peaks. This very beautiful and peaceful photograph along with a selected few other relatively hi-res images can be found at the Boat Shed
All photographs by Robert Ballard, the original diver discoverer of the Titanic wreck. The image was retrieved from the above link.

Fate Ticket
Posted July 28th, 2008 by Lindsay'One exhibit at Liverpool's Merseyside Maritime Museum is a yellowed envelope whose black-and-red printing announces that it contains "First Class Passenger Ticket per Steamship..." (Then, written in fading brown ink): Titanic.
Because Reverend Holden's wife was taken ill, their tickets, once contained in this unique envelope, were never used.
The reverend framed the envelope with the inscription, "Who Redeemeth Thy Life from Destruction" and retained it for years after the sinking.' (Merseyside Maritime Museum.)
Man, Machine, Nature
Posted July 28th, 2008 by LindsayYes, the fascination (for me) with metal and engines never goes away (!) ... however this is one of the most amazing pictures that I have seen of the building of the Titanic, it encapsulates the scale and strength of the 'arc' compared to man, yet in comparing the arc to the ocean it becomes meaningless...
