2014年，一條長10.8米的角島鯨屍首，擱淺於大埔紅石門。此鯨魚品種經過詳細的基因分析，新近於2003年發現。當時，香港城市大學賽馬會動物醫學及生命科學院的教職員，連同城大多個學系的學生，將這副駭骨掃描。是次展覽將掃描所得，以立體打印技術，製作實物一半大小的鯨魚骨頭。骨頭用結實但輕身的物料製成，觀眾可手執玩賞。地上畫有每件骨頭在鯨魚體內的位置，以供還原。裝置旁附有珍貴的海底角島鯨錄影片段。
In 2014, the carcass of a 10.8 metre-long Omura’s whale was found beached in Hung Shek Mun, Tai Po. This species of whale was only recently discovered in 2003 after a detailed genetic analysis. Staff from the then Jockey Club College of Veterinary Medicine and Life Sciences and students from various CityU departments scanned the whole skeleton. From these scans, a set of half scale 3D printed bones was created for this exhibition, using a robust lightweight material that allows visitors to handle and play with them. A drawing on the ground shows the disposition of these bones within the whale skeleton, so that they can be placed accordingly. The installation is accompanied by rare underwater video recordings of an Omura’s whale.
