  2. Analog information - books

    Those 2 volumes are each dedicated to a specific part of the project; the first volume is all about the original text to speech and speech to text process. The second volume adresses the moment when we turned the role of the speaker into a singer - using the iTunes library we found on the hard drive of the computers: one computer was singing the tunes while the other attempted to interpret what it was listening to into text.

    Both books use the Jawut typeface which has been developped specifically for it.

  4. Sun Tzu - KD01k (memory)

    KD01k est une édition du traité de Sun Tzu «l’art de la guerre» en 13 volumes. Chacun des volumes donne une lecture de ce texte écrit entre le IVe et le Ve siècle avant Jésus Christ. Chacun des volumes est une lecture générative du texte; elle est basée sur une analyse statistique de la ponctuation, cette dernière engendrant la mise en forme du texte par lui-même, jusqu’à l’abstraction.

    back wheel rebirth

    everything but red lights

    and adding lights

    I’ve been to the bike shop on Hackney Road; they’ve been super sweet and nice. Sorted the wheel things out quite fast and adviced me on the cheapest/most reliable solution. Their opening hours have just been settled so that you can stop by on your way to work. Super clever! and working hard for all the bikers in the area. check them out:

  11. Automatic Guess System - AGS v0.1: cheating search

    Currently under development, AGS should provide combined with some url rewrite rules (.htaccess) a kind of search box but directly in the url. By using the semantic CMS on the back-end, with a specific element called so far ‘url’ and pre-published (not publicly visible), the administrator has the possibility to influence the guessing system.

  15. r-echos - micro map - information/interface design

    r-echos

    Inside the side bar a sort of micro-map of the page has been inserted; it works as follow:

    - the color are representative of categories, it gives a glimpse of the repartition of the topics on the page , with no clear indications about what the topic is (point to work around and fix)
    - on roll over, if an image is present in the post, it’s displayed along with the title of the post
    - by clicking on the expanded coloured surface you expand the corresponding article on the left

    The ideas it brings: The multi-categorised post should possess many colours, or - maybe - a gradient fill. The tags used for each post could modify the hue of the post as well - but on a more subtle way (there it needs a kind of semantic bundles of tags - à la delicious). Also it needs a more restrictive set of rules to distinct and establish colour’s categories.
    The access to the information leads almost directly to the researched article’s page because of the link directly on the title - might be a good idea to move the link to the post inside the layer, and use the javascript which extend the layer there as well, instead. The sidebar should follow the scroll, meta-information should be removed from it and transfered to a place right under the Header (where there’s already 3 of them recently displaced) - in an unique layer which would be opened/close and populated by some h2 button in the sidebar; the sidebar remaining a simple navigation tool with no content at all inside.
    On another hand, an ajax-like interface might be useful to populate article on the fly instead of (hard) loading everything from the beginning. This might allow the interface to incorporate much more articles at once. The sidebar could then remains permanent and host some specific tools - like note taking, bookmarking, etc.

  16. r-echos v0.3 b / a color adventure in an electronic presence

    r-echos v0.3 b / a color adventure in an electronic presence

    an ongoing experiment around mapping the topics constituting the base ground structure of th incoming info_hub projects leaded r-echos in a slight redesign.

    First:
    no more black and white for the title, but rather using colors which lets identify the subject/topic/category. Possible feature would be to have more color organisations - thinking about a stronger system. At the moment it’s a very simple hack in the r-echos theme based on the id of the main category of the post.

    Second:
    no more complete view of the whole content in the page, this should clarify the whole thing and allow a different perception of the activity.

    Third:
    as image consequently disapeared - installed a simple preview of the first image inside the post. This feauture is at a very early stage.

    Planned development:

    More on the category/color relationship

    Making tags visible - the same way as colors, maybe the tags colors could influence the category color.
    ie: a blueish/redish grey, would say same category but different amount of tags. This would need a semantic approach of tags (del.icio.us’ bundles)

    Mapping the category, evolution of topics through time (zeitgeist), simple preview of page in the top, no more right handed menu, but rather a bunch of links that would push content in the dedicated placeholder - the one right under the banner.

    Connection with the spiderbot project - automation of content discovery through keywords lists. Development of filters for information retrieval in the various tools already in use. Experimenting with new ones. Conducing specific research for tools that might be of any help.
