Mapping

My final map animation: http://www.oholmwood.com/stuff/digitalmap.swf

And a video that Kat and Claudia have made about a nifty expanding fibre-optics variation of the kind of thing I’ve done in my map: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh1_LO1akQg

In my animated map, the different colours represent different stages along the chain mail. If you hover over the points, the names of the places will pop up as a guide. Dashed lines represent travel overseas and are to a different scale to the complete lines.

Interstices

My BBC news page, set in the year 2037 (isn’t it funny how BBC news haven’t changed their website layout and style at all in 30 years?.. hmm..) http://www.oholmwood.com/stuff/bbcnews.html The article talks about the new teleportation technology emerging at that time, and while it hasn’t yet had an impact on much, it discusses the possible ways in which it could affect things socially, environmentally and economically, all based on the ideas Claudia and I discussed.

Her Sun newspaper stuff, set in the year 2106, talks about what has gone wrong, raising similar issues to mine, and can be found at the bottom of this page in her lovely blog.

Artefact

To add to the previous blog post, here’s a photo of an A4 printout of my artefact that I got today:

I did want an A3 one, but for some technical reasons, it wasn’t possible for the printing people to do it for me. Oh well, it’s on nice shiny photo quality paper and I can at least see the point about getting all the details in on the printout, rather than sticking with a resized on-screen jpeg. It goes some way to achieving what Satoshi Matsuyama lives by.
