Week 1

week 1 (15/1/2013)

Mining excavator
Bagger 288  the world largest land vehicle. It is now owned and operated at the Garzweiler mine in Germany.



After that I study on the entire operation system of opencast mine to see how each machines work together in a choreograph system.







After I have been researching more on the whole operation network of opencast mining system, I found out that the physical movement is not very drastic, and the whole system did not involve much interactions with other machines or humans as I thought it might. As you can see from the clip that the physical movement is not very drastic, mostly simple movement.

So I tried to research other systems that involved more participants in network including machines, people and space. i become very much interested in the network and choreography within the stream engine room of the Titanic ship.  The machines may not move with great complexity,but the involvement of many different machines along with the need for human participants moving around the spaces in the boat engine room make the whole network much more complex and interesting
