Some notes, this time not ordered by day, but by theme.
A bunch of conceptual and game design progress for Ebi. We created a concept which is fun, viral and not impossible to implement given the time we have. Also big thanks for the baristas at Brandmeester’s for keeping the creativity fueled.
I attended all three days of the Mediamatic Mapping Festival. There was a lot of familiar stuff there but still saw some interesting things (see Monster Swell’s tweets) and talked to some cool people (among who catalogtree). The amount of interactive data visualizations was somewhat disappointing. It is about time we transformed data and insight into read/write media.
Some writing:
- “Distilling meter, rhyme and verse from your database” about the need for data storytelling
- A summary of a recent Dutch commission’s report on traffic information systems in Dutch “Eindrapport Adviescommissie Verkeersinformatie”
Some updates on Haïtinu.nl a site I have been working on.
