NotesFound: World’s Oldest Message in a Bottle, Part of 1914 Citizen-Science Experiment
A Scottish fisherman has found the world’s oldest message in a bottle, the Guinness Book of World Records confirmed last week. It is 98 years old, and was cast into the ocean by Captain C.H. Hunter, a scientist at the Glasgow School of Navigation, who was studying the currents in the North Sea.
The bottle was one of 1,890 bottles released on June 10, 1914, and the 315th to be entered into Captain Brown’s log, which is still kept and updated by Marine Scotland Science in Aberdeen.

NotesArtist’s book: Apparatus of Daydreaming by Kable Design
The book received a bronze award in the fine arts category from Creative Quarterly 15 in 2009. As part of my fulfillment of the grant I recently made two new artists books. These books are inspired by reading about theoretical constructions of space.

Notes
Britannica Atlas (Altered Book) by Shannon Newby
“The last few centuries have seen an incredible transformation in the interpretation and usage of the book: from prized possession, to transmitter of information, to art object, to a bulky item often set aside in favor of a digital equivalent. In this body of work entitled “By Its Cover,” I have dismantled and reconfigured books to reflect on the past, present and future history of the written word and its relationship to culture, individuals and society as a whole.”
