+++ Welcome patrons,
Pour yourself a tall glass of wine and stay a while. I invite you to peruse the works on display. Taking advantage of the pure and powerful OpenGL interface, these selected pieces revolve around the concepts of mapping and searching. Considering that humans spend most of their time identifying patterns in their sensational stimuli and, in cooperation with their memory, construct meaning from them, we were interested in the possible functions a computer system can play in that process. Although humans are well adapted to the natural environment they are basically blind in the information space. To be able to see in the realm of computer systems and do what humans do best--namely pattern recognition--they need a prosthetic extension to their senses. These software constructs are such extensions as they map files, network streams, interaction logs and the like to a visual representation that can be conventionally "read".
At the end of each project page you will find the source code and in many cases a video clip. Enjoy the works and feel free to pour yourself another glass of wine.
