NewsMap

Newsmap is an application that visualizes the totality of the GoogleNews aggregator. Shift Japan:

Loads of information come and go through every day. Marcos Weskamp has created some projects, which visualize such unseen information with academic and interesting concept and technology. We interviewed him and grabbed interesting talk.

雖然這樣的「空間聚合」方式,可能在短時間內沒有躍上主流的能量。但對我來說,在閱讀時倒是可以看出一些有趣的 pattern。這樣說好了,我們有四個向度:新聞源的產製地理位置、新聞分類項、更新時間和鏈結程度。四維空間被優雅(暴力)的嵌在二維的螢幕前。那我在閱讀時,若要快速的汲取資訊,必然要 adapt 新的閱讀思維。

這是很妙的多維閱讀,或是說,這根本已經不是一種傳統的閱讀(?)。嗯,不知道怎麼描述這種經驗。:(
