Imbedded information
The North Sea is one of the busiest sea-scapes in the world surrounded by land and human activity. In Imbedded information I unfold more actors hidden under the surface, but I also realize that the the fi eld area must be enlargened to include the whole drainage bassin of the North Sea where 184 million people live! The actors on land become as important influencing the north sea ecostystem. In try to geolocate all the actors.

Dear Betsey
ReplyDeleteKeep on turning everything you see. This type of working and uncovering of all aspects of coast and seascape can really get you, and us, far into some new magic of appearance. Be observant on the combination of satellite images (Ksat/Tromsø)and observation networks under the skin of the sea. Check their website, I will send you an article the did in an anthology I edited on future economical landscapes - Ok?
Thank you for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI have used a lot of time contacting people and trying to get maps, it hasn't payed of yet but I am discovering small things as I go. I have been interested in understanding the history of Norway and jæren (espacially its relation to the sea) and am working on that paralell. I havn't come much closer to a project, but I hope I am using my time right.
I am looking forward to the article..

"This summer, for the first time, two freighters navigated the Northern Sea Route, unaccompanied by ice-breakers. The Danish writer Jens Christian Gröndahl reflects on what this means for Scandinavians: "The arduous summer journey of the two freighters is almost like a deflowering of the impassibility of the North, and it leaves Scandinavians with the estranged and homeless sensation that suddenly the earth has turned out to be round after all."
