9/07/08An extract from the gRaphics blog"Now this is the bit which I find interesting because I dont think this means responsive in the sense of clap your hands and the lights come on or write a comment and it appears on the screen in different coulour. I think in an exhibition these simply become toys and are in fact have a one way application."I agree with this, the bTween conference last week

Edit:15/6/2008A mock up for the main page of this. This is the sensible, might get it built in time for October version. Involves live gigs, Stickam and Badly Drawn Boy samples.The less sensible version involves first and second life gigs, a second life elements music mixer and an on screen elements mixer.

Edit 25/5/2008Mock up for an MA section of the CAGD website. Split into three sections news, images, text, it would work in a similar way to an RSS reader. Anything posted to your CAGD, blog, Flickr or YouTube account would appear on this page. You don't post here, it gathers group activity in one place. At the top is the memebrs of the group so you can toggle between different peoples

Edit 26/5/2008 part twoSimplified this right down.Tagging tool for the CAGD site. Instead of tagging with words users are presented with a selction of images from the site. Users must choose a minmum of two images to tag their work with.The idea is tagging become a way of discovering of new work, tags are no longer literal and descriptive. You would be able to view work which other users have

Chris Heathcote mentioned this at FutureSonic. Fuzzy data, the idea that narrowing peoples searches is not useful, what people like is data that is more open to interpretationsThe outer circles are the "fuzzy data"From designing Dopplr We’re sitting on the grass in the sunshine with a bunch of early Dopplr users, including Stowe Boyd and Stephanie Booth - when Stephanie is the first to voice

Change of heart with this. This is going to be my proposal for the outcome of the collaberation on the Graphic Arts blog. I need to trawl through my posts on there but there's some intersting discussion about playing with the role of curator, how this relates to current web 2.0/3.0 ideas, repliacting this in a gallery space.

Edit 8/6/2008So this has changed quite a bit(and may start to fit in with the fuzzy data proposal) Last week I had a meeting with the head of BT regions in the north west about the NOISE website. One of the things that kept coming up was how we document where users are submitting from, which postcodes are creative hot spots, where users are signing up from and so on. Eventually how do you tie all

Very briefly, this is based on work from MIT in America. The original MIT project mapped in real time the activity of users in a city. In this case Rome.In essence what they did was use mobile technology such as Bluetooth and GPS to turn the city into a social network site. What I am starting to work on is using the idea of a city as a social network and applying some of these ideas and theories

Edit:18/5/2008Following on from this postA site search tool needs relevant meta data from users, so this intail profile age becomes crucial. What needs to be thought about is the information that is being captured at this initial stage, how and where will it be used later on I what to link students work together, by common themes. By styles, interests, ideas, colours and so on. So at a later

Develop ideas for users to connect with each other. How do you create collaborations with other users, avoid cliches? Friends lists, Look at case studies such as Facebook and MySpace. Create friends lists. Genuine friends, collaborators. Anti-friends lists, people you have a an association with. How do you know people online, through others, through groups, similar ineterests, things you like/

Edit 14/7/08This needs to be a map of some sort, a mock up of a search tool or a Google map, with NOISE specific overlays. Some reference to publishing on demand sites such as Threadless, Wooshka and Zudacomics. The importance of public rating with these sites, public ratings feedback.

Edit 9/07/08Change of plan this is quite a large section of what I'm doing at the moment. The site itself is throwing up a number of interesting questions and ideas. So part 1 is the use of current web technology as a collaberative tool. The idea of posting, virtual meeting place vs physical meting. Social loafing? The shifting role of work that is being generated. How succesful this is? How do

Edit: 13/7/08I've really left this, it's odd because this was, for a long time my idea for a final outcome. Now I'm really not sure how this is possible. At the moment I think it has to be combination of the something like the Ning space, to allow for discussion and feedback and the MA research section. Maybe a more visual version of Ning site, drooping images in virtual crits. We've done this

Edit:13/7/2008Moving this to a NOISE search toolCurrently working on these ideas with Josh Russell, who worked on AstroJam earlier in the year. Based on the Color Pickr concept users can search work by colour. In addition this can be filtered down to categories eg graphic designers, age, postcode, rating, keyword. Basically any meta data we have on the database. An intilal random selection of

Edit:13/7/2008Current reworked designs for thisNotes from email discussionsI actually really like dividing the space down the middle, it becomes more of a catalogue or book. With artists and and curators in an order on one side and then a scrapbook section on the other side.I'm trying to work out the difference between dragging a curator and an artist. In my mind if you drag a curator it brings
