Scan



Here's a few photos from the Mummy Scanning operation. Curators really getting up close and personal with the preserved bodies and intricately decorated caskets. Doesn't the first one remind you of a Christo? Egyptian style!

Good work Brooklyn Museum!

Relive

That's right, the team at Brooklyn Museum are bringing some long dead bodies for a hospital check up. CT scans will show lots of valuable information about the remains deep beyond face value. Clues of a long ago time.

Who said conservation/museum work wasn't exciting?

This project reminded me of the ways paintings and other art works are analysed. Xrays, can see the underpaintings which otherwise one will never see. A secret of the artist? Often it is the stuff behind the surface we see that can contain astounding mounts of insight. Intent. Possibly inspiration. And bloopers.

As a radio report on the mummy scanning said, radiation exposure isn't an issue so really so much more can be told than say a scan on live human. Hopefully there'll be some pictures for us later on.

This is all happening now so see the Twitter feed downstairs, or visit #mummyCT where frequent updates of the insider scoop are being offered by @brooklynmuseum and others. I'll be making a follow up post of the implications of this project later on.

Creative Collision - The First Post

This blog has, for the record, been sitting on the world wide web for much too long with nothing on it (or a state of confusion, anyway). Finally with some time and effort, I have made this blog come to some result.

And here is where the fun begins! This blog will be dedicated to all of the creative things that I find. The collision between the creative disciplines will be sought. Different contributors will make their statement too, so you won't get bored of my voice.

Someday, I hope to achieve a rich palette of our creative environments here. All support I have received so far has been really valuable!
