"The collage is a thief's pleasure made by the pillage of the community" -- Francis Picabia
"The most important thing is not what you see but it's what you imagine" -- Leon Bellefleur

"As you grow older, it dawns on you that you are yourself--that your job is not to force yourself into a style--but to do what you want." (Beth van Hoesen)

"One needs to discover an inner well with a natural flow that takes one through an evolution of style--and more than anything it takes an ability to make work that doesn't look like any other. -- http://www.painterskeys.com

" Keep doing what you do, just keep refining and in the long run you will become distinctively unique and of course your individual style and message will shine through touching someone's heart somewhere". -- louise2@primus.com.au

Groxis, Inc., a provider of visual information management software, has announced general availability of Grokker 2, the latest release of its visual search product. The software is designed to organize and visually map thousands of search results from multiple search engines and content sources simultaneously. This also creates the opportunity to build Grokker plug-ins to virtually any content source, database, or search engine on the net.

"InfinteD" much better than 3D, 4D, 11D, etc.

Is "Get lost" better than Get "lost" or find lost ,or search for "lost"?

Inhabited Information Spaces http://www.iisbook.com/
Inhabited Information Spaces (IIS) are a means to fuse the representation of information with a representation of the people using it thereby helping to put the information in context. The field of (IIS) (sometimes referred to as Populated Information Terrains, or PITs) overlaps that of Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) as CVEs are one of the preferred inmplementation techniques for visualisation information in a collaborative way. The key point is that the space used to represent the information is also inhabited by the users of that information whether virtual (via avatars) or by their normal physical presence.

Act One. Sight. Ira with Denis Wood, author of the Power of Maps and Seeing Through Maps: The Power of Images to Shape Our World View.
Wood talks about the maps he's made of his own neighborhood, Boylan Heights, in Raleigh, North Carolina. They include one traditional street locator map, plus a map of all the sewer and power lines under the earth's surface, a map of how the light falls on the ground through the leaves of the trees, a map of where all the Halloween pumpkins are each year, a map of all the graffiti in the neighborhood and of who was mentioned most often in the neighborhood newspaper. He is, in short, creating maps that are more like novels, trying to describe everyday life. (8 minutes)
