Today we completed the swan scan with processing and made a series of .obj files we can edit for future 3d printing and then launched @swanpedalo & the lillypadradio platform prototype at her new home at the Liverpool water sports centre

How to start currently?
“Its just too wide…like the ocean we need anchor Points” Elisabeth Weihe
What is it we want to make? Sea platforms / production onboard / seaweed factories / biomedical prospecting / socials / connections / hackspaces in ports
The Journey; across the sea or along the coast and across the canals? We began to think of the coast and its network of ports as important as the major crossing
Reflecting on spaces at sea and the coast where data overlaps and changes and shifts, different senses of time and space: old technology (viking crystals) to downloading weather data and sailing without compasses / Discussed the social side of sailing #socialsea from port to port how everybody shares information and helping environment
What is Ship AIS and how does it work : paths to server; ship to ship to shore to satellite/AIS water rescue suits; do they really work is there enough data being broadcast at the right rate
Checked out the weather and talked about getting data over AIS downloading every 4 days over the atlanticActive and passive radar reflector shapes
Discussed Marine Accident investigation

the body learning the sea / The sea as a space for new life / territory / the law and the sea

Open Source City
Soon travelling to Liverpool to join Etienne Gernez Academic Co-ordinator at Protei, who will be talking over Skype at Oggcamp about their Open Source Sailing drone project. It’s part of the Currently.no project I’m doing with Ross Dalziel, a research group between Liverpool and Oslo developing open responses to the marine sciences. (Sorry, not much time, so I cut and pasted some text from the OSC link). I’ve only had a brief RL meeting with Etienne - in Oslo last week, so it’ll be great to have another one.

Follow the Rainbow
If you want to find out where Nautila is moored, just look out over the water across to Hovedøya while the sun is out and its raining - which has happened several times a day for the past month. The end of the rainbow that falls into the trees will guide you there.

Strawberry decoy
There are an unusual number of poisonous jellyfish milling around in the water this year. One morning I threw some withering strawberries overboard. Almost immediately the jelly fish began to gather around and consume them. Very uncanny - but then again, now I know what to do if I want to take a swim without becoming entangled in jellyfish tentacles.
