±«Óãtv

Brilliant.

Jeremy:
Thanks for the update on the BOX and its journey!

I'm just checking to see if "blog" works.

To be honest, i'm not the ±«Óãtv's biggest fan but this is a really interesting idea. The humble container has changed the face of world trade and i for one would be intrigued to see the scope of its travels.

Another idea albeit not on this scale. We've all seen nature documentaries on the daily lives of lions, cheetahs and monkies etc. How about an hour long one off show on the domestic cat? I would certainly watch a show that gives some sort of insight into what makes Tiddles tick. What DO they get up to when they go off on their wanders? How do they sort out territorial disputes? Dominance? Hunting?

Not as glamorous as a lion perhaps. But more relevant nonetheless.

Here's an idea... perhaps we can send our own images of the ±«Óãtv Box as it travels the globe. I'm sure that, given the ±«Óãtv's fans in the UK and around the World, there would be a number of people who would eagerly try and see if they could see the Box if it's near their town. Perhaps people could post their pictures of the box. Kids around the world could send in drawings.

Who knows? Perhaps there could even be Box tribute videos...

I worked in international shipping and am blogging on the subject at


I cannot find any ships in the NYK schedule which go from Southampton to China.
I am guessing it will be transhipped somewhere on the North American East Coast.
Without giving out too much information, is this correct?

Some of my students have now made their own box from the ±«Óãtv kit. They are now looking on research on the container. Another great web site to look at www.followthecontainer.com

I have become completely obsessed with the whereabouts of the box. But it's been in Southampton for days now - - it's driving me MAD.

I only live up the road so I might go down there and tell them to get a move on. Those people in china must be wondering where their whiskey has got to.

any chance you can let us know in advance when the ship will leave so we could watch it go out??

Some of the poorest journalism to emerge out of the ±«Óãtv in years.

And that's saying something.

This is an interesting concept, and I will be following it closely, as well as attempting to get photos should it make its way to Sydney.

I know there is now the printable version of the container, but is it also possible to get the artwork for modellers to be able to print decals? It would be great I think to have the ability to apply "thebox" decals to a plastic model container.

Kind Regards,

I saw a similar project in Hong Kong called the Art Container Project...www.artcontainer.hk
It launched at May 2008...
