Interact 10 Ways - Information
Sumona
I Found this nice little shockwave (does anyone still use shockwave?) app some time ago whilst doing research for an interactive project. It’s part of the Getty ‘interact 10 ways’ campaign, in which companies such as Tomato, Less Rain, Sumona etc… created apps that explore the ‘power of the image’ - it’s been on the front of digg when it was launched way back.
Here’s a short blurb by Sumona:
“From its content to its visual components, a photograph is filled with information. Choose a point on an image and delve deeper into it, linking one idea to another in a never-ending chain.”
Reminds me of those fantastic Chuck Close paintings.
An endless loop of simple, beautiful interaction.

Amazing!
I've never seen this before, and I'm so pleased that its been brought to my attention. I like Colin's description: An endless loop of simple, beautiful interaction.

How does it work?
Does it generate the photos by seaching the getty archive by RGB values to you think?

I remember seeing this some time ago when getty was putting up all sorts of interactive treats. Thanks for giving me the link again- i had forgotten about its existence!
To view it I had do download shockwave- times have changed, that was something else I had completely forgotten about!
