Dolphin Clippings, undated
The Dolphin Embassy was a design by Ant Farm's Curtis Schreier and Doug Michels for a watercraft on which scientists would interact with dolphins in the wild. The project first appeared in Ant Farm publications in 1974, and the group promoted the project on their 1976 Australian tour. Between 1977 and 1978 Michels took the lead on the project and supervised the redesign of the craft by a professional ship designer. Assisted by Australians Alex Morphett and Bob Perry, he tried unsuccessfully to obtain funding to build the Dolphin Embassy as a science station or alternatively to produce a fiction movie called "Brainwave," based on the Dolphin Embassy idea. The materials, undated and those dated from 1971-2003, include 3 boxes of correspondence, research, and clippings files. Dolphin-related memorabilia is found in Box 102 with the series devoted to objects and memorabilia.
