This curious device: Allurer of abundance

Far away and over the River lie the Maritime Complexities, where laws of exuberance and pleasures of imagination are so gloriously made manifest, at the heart of which exists the Vista Land. A place of curiosity, invention and combination. ‘This curious device’ is an enquiry into something of the extraordinary ingenuity, discovery, mutation, enlightenment and joy that evolved from the Maritime Complexities. An abundance of information at all scales, given shape, a spatial infinity. A place that also grew dark over time, a dark mirror with which to see our times. Of abundance appropriated and misused, of hope become cold, frozen by myriad small orthodoxies.
