The crumbling visage of Hashima island has just been mapped by Google.  The island was set up as a coal-mining outpost, but was abandoned in 1974 because the coal ran out.

Exhibition update

All, We will be reviewing your portfolios tomorrow as discussed in preparation for the exhibition. If your portfolios are not already in the animation studio at Avery Hill Campus (in the south studio) please make sure that they are by tomorrow at 11am so that we can select work for the exhibition. Slightly differently to what has been scheduled, we will now take the selected work and frames down to Maritime tomorrow afternoon and decide on a final layout ourselves. As such there will not be the need for the meeting at 3pm. Instead we will send a layout of the exhibition tomorrow afternoon so that you can begin fixing on Thursday. If useful, we could set-up a quick meeting on Thursday morning to discuss this. Aside from the work in frames we will need to fix the work with panel pins or similar. With enough numbers this should be achievable on Thursday. It would be helpful if the pins were bought in advance of Thursday. Both Susanne and I will be working on First Year Exhibition and Simon on the Paper House, so please can you organise amongst yourselves who will be present on Thursday to setup the work. For those who are worried about transportation and damage to work, I suggest you take the work down there yourselves. However please note that none of the spaces at the Maritime campus can be locked, so work is left there at your own risk. There is a prep space available, QA180 but again, no confirmations have been made regarding whether it will be locked. Access to the building is from 8:30am to 9:30pm Finally and most importantly, for those currently involved in the Paper House construction, please remain as you are and as per your current schedules. SSJ P.S I will post the unit text to be used for the exhibition space.
