The Planetarium was one of the more interesting places to go to as we were shown off three media's designs specifically for the facility. We were shown a short Documentary film about Antarctica, a small teaser for a Maori film Animation and we were given a glimpse of the interactive Solar System.
All were very cool. All of the students were then led to a stage in which the speaker from the planetarium was talking about how the films for the planetarium was made.
Afterwards my group explored the Otago Museum, where the planetarium was held. We only had a brief look, which was a shame. However I had been there before so I was quite familiar with some of the exhibits. We got to see some tribal exhibits and some animal exhibits. Highlight was seeing the Giant sea turtle replica, why? cause turtles are cool.
After that my group headed to the Art Museum located in the Octagon. We were also given a brief tour of the facility. Still alright thought as I had also seen most of the artwork prior on my own trips to Dunedin, but there was one exhibit there that I hadn't seen before and it was actually pretty cool. It was 3 artworks by a guy who had mastered photo composition. The artworks were all black and white and one was shown on three television screens. They were images of what appeared to be mountains, but when you had a closer look at them, they were actually buildings, copy and pasted over and over again. Quite fascinating stuff.
