A couple of weeks ago I finished a beast of a project.
The interactive installation (titled InStability) is an artistic endeavor to demonstrate how seismic stations in Iceland detect earthquakes.
Visitors are invited to touch the map, triggering "earthquakes", and observe how LEDs, representing seismic and GPS stations, light up as the seismic waves propagate across Reykjanes peninsula.
Looking up to the sky to find out what happens deep down in the #ocean !
The newly inaugurated OASIS project, operated by the German Aerospace Center and hosted at ESO's Paranal Observatory in #Chile, will monitor "airglow" in our atmosphere to better understand tsunamis. 1/3

As we looked through the photos albums of our great-uncle, it was clear he travelled extensivily throughout Aotearoa. We wondered where he got the money for this as he worked for the Post Office. We will never really know, but it was fun to speculate. He visited Ahuriri/Napier in June 1931, a few months after the devastating earthquake. In the photo below, you can see the opera house in the foreground looking very damaged by the earthquake.

The city-state was a dominant centre point during the Classic period and its influence affected other contemporaneous cultures. Around the year 550 CE, a continuous decrease in urban population...
