Wiki: ''The Antikythera mechanism (IPA: [ˌæntɪkɪˈθɪərə], an-ti-ki-theer-uh), is an ancient mechanical calculator (also described as the first known mechanical computer) designed to calculate astronomical positions. It was discovered in the Antikythera wreck off the Greek island of Antikythera, between Kythera and Crete, in 1901. Subsequent investigation, particularly in 2006, dated it to about 150–100 BC; and hypothesised that it was on board a ship that sank en route from the Greek island of Rhodes to Rome. Technological artifacts of similar complexity did not reappear until a thousand years later.''

My computer is really slow atm...
I wanted to work more on this piece, but my laptop doesn't let me :/.
Perhaps I'll do that on my new computer which I'm going to get soon.
And when I have my new computer, I'll make a lot of new art.
Jonathan and I made two different versions, go here to see his version: [link]
I enjoyed working with him :)
