Rebuilding a ship lost in 1824: André Wee for CNA
André Wee for CNA
Digital illustrator Andre Wee was commissioned by CNA to rebuild the Fame, the ship that burnt down in 1824 carrying Stamford Raffles' collection of specimens and drawings to London. He drew the vessel as a single illustration, then used Artivive to layer the three decks over it: viewers move their phone across the drawing and go down through cargo hold, cabins and the lost cargo itself. History that only existed in written records becomes something you can walk through.
Outcome: Produced with CNA as a documentary piece on how AR can reconstruct what no photograph ever recorded.
