This is my Wordle. You should try it.

I was inspired after seeing the header of the WordPress Foundation: a new charitable organization founded by Matt Mullenweg to further the mission of the WordPress open source project.

This particular one was created using the tags from my delicious bookmarks.

I really liked this when I first came across it. I could spend hours erm… wordling i guess. Try it for yourselves and submit one and submit it to their gallery.

Radiohead: 3D Open-Source Music Video

One of the featured exhibitions, which initially came to my attention in 2007, is Radiohead’s ‘House of Cards’ Music Video. The video was created using no cameras or lights. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data.

As part of the exhibition, Karsten Schmidt was commisioned to design a digital identity for the exhibition using open-source code. Members of the public are being invited to take this source-code and come up with their own interpretations. A number of the recoded works submitted will be chosen by the V&A and CBS to appear on London Underground digital screens to promote the exhibition.
