I'm currently developing an art project related to the forthcoming

I will bump because I wanna see what others will say to op, seeing I dont know how to awnser him and I am vary curious over this.

Have you read The Sun and the Fish by Woolf?

I will, love Woolf but did not know about this.

Your pic looks both very interesting and utterly nonsensical. What exactly is the context of that diagram?

There's probably something to do with Australia's history you could use, as James Cook's original purpose on his voyage was to observe an eclipse.

Doesn't appear on google at all. I'm curious.

It's the Numogram or Decimal Labyrinth developed by the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit in Warwick (Sadie Plant, Nick Land, et al.). I am not particularly interested in numerology, but their approach was deep & contemporary enough to be fertile. IMHO same goes for Negarestani's Cyclonopedia.

> On June 3, 1769, British navigator Captain James Cook, British naturalist Joseph Banks, British astronomer Charles Green and Swedish naturalist Daniel Solander recorded the transit of Venus on the island of Tahiti during Cook's first voyage around the world. During a transit, Venus appears as a small black disc travelling across the Sun. This unusual astronomical phenomenon takes place in a pattern that repeats itself every 243 years. A "secret" mission that followed the transit included the exploration of the South Pacific to find the legendary Terra Australis Incognita or "unknown land of the South."

Impressive, thank you! The four-person crew defined by their professions reminded me immediately of VanderMeer's Southern Reach Trilogy:

>The book (Annihilation, first book in the trilogy, ndr) describes a team of four women (a biologist, an anthropologist, a psychologist, and a surveyor) who set out into an area known as Area X. The area is abandoned and cut off from the rest of civilization. They are the 12th expedition. The other expeditions have been fraught with disappearances, suicides, aggressive cancers, and mental trauma.

Virginia Woolf's journal entry about the eclipse is stunning, thanks to the anon that suggested it:
> But now the colour was going out. The clouds were turning pale; a reddish black colour. Down in the valley it was an extraordinary scrumble of red and black; there was the one light burning; all was cloud down there, and very beautiful, so delicately tinted. The 24 seconds were passing. Then one looked back again at the blue: and rapidly, very very quickly, all the colours faded; it became darker and darker as at the beginning of a violent storm; the light sank and sank; we kept saying this is the shadow; and we thought now it is over - this is one shadow; when suddenly the light went out. We had fallen. It was extinct. There was no colour. The earth was dead.
