Object Lesson 1 – Unit 2
Blaeu Map Cartouche – 1642-43
One of the most fascinating things I noticed when looking at the maps in the Map Library are the cartouches on some of the artifacts. With an extensive background and interest in art, these detailed images found in the corners of a couple of maps really drew my attention. In and of themselves, they are small drawings done by very skilled artists. The drawing in this example depicts a very detailed drawing of a man in armor, perhaps a conquistador, with a Greek or Roman looking goddess. There are also cherubs in the cartouche, which draws references on Italian renaissance art. When placed on maps, these images renegotiate the function of the maps (and the map renegotiates the function of the drawing). Maps are normally thought of as tools, a way for people to orient themselves and learn about the world around them, while art serves a more aesthetic and decorative purpose. When combined, the function of the object ends up taking more of a middle ground between a useful tool and an aesthetic piece.
The curator mentioned that this map almost never made it to the University of Michigan because the person in charge of selling it had another interested buyer who was a decorator and wanted to hang the map as a piece of artwork. Apparently, this made the curator rather upset because he saw the map as an invaluable academic and historical relic. This issue brings up an interesting hierarchy within maps, where from the curator’s standpoint, the academic purpose is far beyond the aesthetic in terms of importance, a viewpoint that I don’t entirely agree with. Based on the designs on and around the map, the decorative aspect of the map was certainly important to the mapmaker as well. Perhaps it was a way to make the maps more valuable and sought after by consumers.
Furthermore, the way the maps are kept in the map library, I wonder how many people are actually able to view them and appreciate them. I didn’t know about this library until we made the trip there as a class, and by the looks of it, it’s not often frequented by students. These maps, therefore, are probably not seen by a great number of people. I wonder if they were treated as just aesthetic pieces, they would get more viewers and exposure to the rest of society. What is the most important functions of these maps? Do they actually succeed in fulfilling these functions?

Scientists spent the winter studying data from seven wetlands near Barnegat Bay and Delaware Bay. They are using these to create an early warning system for wetlands called Marsh Futures. This will allow communities to map and fast track priority wetlands for enhancement. Why is this is important? Because poor health often precedes wetland loss, and we can ill afford to lose wetlands. Not only do they spare neighborhoods from flooding, they also serve as nurseries for the fish and shellfish we eat. For details, please visit ow.ly/10s8eC to read our winter 2014 article entitled “Marsh Futures: Moving from Tracking to Action”.

These are the overhead (like "garage") door buttons at the service bay for my Mom's Saturn dealership. Each station has a set, none are quite the same. All are laid out essentially like this.
By which I mean: arbitrarily. I asked before taking the photo, and told them why. They do in fact have no idea which button controls which door, and usually fail to open the right one. Many of them just open them all up, or otherwise plan on lots of trial and error time. No one has authority to fix it, of course.
This is a classic failure to map issue. There are two doors on each end of a room, which have no relationship to the buttons, and each set of buttons is in a different orientation to those doors. They could have been arranged in little labelled groups, maybe with a little simplified diagram. The extra price of the labels, and of the time to make the electrician do it right could probably be exchanged for fewer button sets; the time saved in sure pushes can offset walking 2 ft to the next set of poorly labeled buttons.

2 Km`ye yakın uzunluktaki geniş ve beyaz kumlu plajları, nitelikli konaklama tesisleri ve termal olanaklarıyla Çeşmenin en büyük ve popüler turizm merkezi durumunda.
Deniz`in içinden kaynayan sıcak termal suları, Ilıca plajını ve yöredeki diğer plajları büyük birer termal havuz haline getirir.
Ilıca`daki büyük, küçük konaklama tesisleri, yoğun bir turist kapasitesinin ihtiyacını karşılayabilecek durumda. Ilıca`nın önemini arttıran en önemli husus, termal olanakları. Birçok küçük, otel ve pansiyonlarda bile kaplıca suyu bulunuyor. Çeşme plajlarının ve özellikle Ilıca plajının en önemli özelliklerinden biri de, kıyıdan denize doğru yaklaşık yüz metrelik bir şeridin insan boyunu geçmeyecek derinlikte olması. Sığ sularda, özellikle termal kaynaklarla beslenen sularda ultraviyole ışınlarının insan sağlığına çok daha fazla yararlı olduğu bilimsel bulgularla kesinleşmiş durumda. Bunların yanı sıra, bu plajlardan çocukların yararlanma olanakları, sağlık ve can güvenliği bakımından da çok elverişli.

Nick Goumas, Research & Development Engineer and Gideon Billings, Robotics Ph.D. Student with the DROP Lab (droplab.engin.umich.edu) test out underwater robot on the Great Lakes.
The overall project goal is to develop a proof of concept that autonomous underwater vehicles can conduct image surveys. This image data would then be post-processed with various neural networks to detect and record the numbers of fish and mussels of certain species. This system would then be used to determine the populations of these species across the great lakes.

This is a re-creation of a brainstorming session for a digital story.
My friends Rachel Woodburn and Linda Hicks created the Digital Storytelling course curriculum for the Maricopa Community Colleges District after attending a digital storytelling workshop together. Their desire to share the power of story spurred the creation of an international exchange course with an emphasis on connecting the indigenous cultures of Australia, New Zealand and the U.S.
On the occasion of Linda's retirement, Rachel and I were asked to make a video about Linda's impact on this international program. To do it, we needed to contextualize the events from that starting point, through development, and on to the reciprocal exchanges that came about as a result.
The metaphor of ripples made sense instantly, as events interrelated and compounded energies. It also made sense because the ripples continue outward forever, from person to person and life to life.
The Friends of Watts Meadow commissioned a drone flight to map the woods - great to watch a really impressive bit of kit and find out what it can do.
The pigeons got spooked though - apparently they think it might be a bird of prey and swarm around trying to chase it away.
