The MOSI

I had imagined the Museum of Science and Industry to be a lot more inspirational than it was. I was hoping to find some evidence of lost theories or science that had been proven wrong to link to the theme "Reclamation" but the things I found most interesting were the old machines and Victorian style illustrations and old photographs on the signs.

The old-fashioned illustrations reminded me of an artist I found in Juxtapoz called Dan Hillier who collages together victorian drawings, often combining humans animals and machines. I wasn't really sure about how I could link this to "reclamation" other than it reclaiming old drawing methods... I did think about modifying old household objects within the drawings or photos to demonstrate how old technology could be reclaimed by modern people but didn't push the idea much further.
