Last night after I finally finished my assignment, I watched a great doco on abc about Stephen Eastaugh a nomadic Australian visual artist and his 3 month stay on Antarctica. I really like his work, in particular the two images shown below. I like their simplicity, and the fact that it holds something complex as its heart. I also like the way they individual images are segmented.

Title: Icebergs

Currently my idea is reactive, as opposed to interactive. I could make a puzzle of the world, and integrate drag and drop techniques for a user to sort it out. But that is a bit far away from the point.

In other news, there was a coup overnight in thailand, bloodless so far, yes, but definitely a worsening security situation. More information for my project, which is yet to be named.
