Three Georgia Tech students were dispatched to uninhabited Cumberland Island by Gov. Jimmy Carter to survey the most southern section of the island, cut off by a freshwater lake. This was in preparation for the State of Georgia giving Cumberland Island to the National Park Service. A hurricane changed direction, wiping out their sailboat and their campsite. They spent over two weeks, living off the land, until they were able to waive down a shrimp boat passing by.
I am excited to announce that I now have the hardware and A.I. software to incorporate those photographs from August 1971 of the island in a natural state into the computer art that you will see during the remainder of the year.
