Similar sites are closer together. As one might have expected, the largest clusters are formed by national websites, i.e. sites belonging to one country. For the sake of convenience, all websites relative to a certain country carry the same color. For instance, the red zone at the top corresponds to Russian segment of the net, the yellow one on the left stands for the Chinese segment, the purple one on the right is Japanese, the large light-blue central one is the American segment, etc.Importantly, clusters on the map are semantically charged, i.e. they join websites together according to their content.

RC4 in London researches computational design methodologies for large-scale 3D printing with industrial robots, taking logistical, structural and material constraints as design opportunities to generate non-representational architectural spaces with extreme information density. Created by LUSTlab in collaboration with The Mobile City, Binnen de Lijnen is part of an ongoing research project called Public Space – Public Matter from Trancity.

Electric cars are increasingly using synthesised sounds in order to mimic the recognisable noise of the internal combustion engine. I explore an alternative in which the sound that the cars generate changes according to its relationship to other road users and the environment. A traffic simulation is used to power the movement of vehicles through different sections of road networks in London. From a street level perspective the motions of traffic combine the sounds to create soundscapes that are unique to the place and time. We Are Chopchop / » “unnamed soundsculpture” - Nightly. Project by Daniel Franke & Cedric Kiefer produced by:onformativeChopChop Documentation: vimeo.com/38505448 Text: Sandra Moskova The basic idea of the project is built upon the consideration of creating a moving sculpture from the recorded motion data of a real person.

Introduction I am an extremely visual person; the proposition or axiom that thought cannot exist without language is a proposition that is absurd. Visual Understanding Environment (VUE), a program that I have yet to discover the full potential of, has proven, for me, a useful tool in the translation of abstract non-symbolic concepts into symbolic, objective form; as importantly, it has proven useful in taming the nonlinear beast of thought by corralling it into the linear format of the written word.

Conveying thought through writing is largely a task of organizing things linearly that have a non-linear nature; this organization creates the need for a narrative to be formed (this is true for both fiction and non-fiction), a narrative that usually is only one of many possible narratives.
