What is the alternative to a paper sketchbook? Can we use the computer to
accelerate the creative process? How can we make our sketches
easier to access and how can the computer help us to create new ones? Good thoughts get lost
or buried. How can we keep them? How can we find them? What is the effect of sharing them
with others?
Sketchbooks can enhance creativity. One reason for that is that they support our memory,
helping us to remember thoughts and ideas. Another one can be seen in their allowing us a
dialogue with these externalized ideas. It is an interesting question what might happen if such a
world of ideas could also be made accessible for others or might even serve as a collective
sketchbook or memory representation.
The aim of this project is to explore in a very divergent process a large number of possible
approaches rather than to favorite a single solution.
What is the relationship between the content and its visual structure & organisation?
How do people access it and interact with it? Are the results comprehensible?
How important are transitions, progressions? Is there a particular difference between �Visual
Explanations� and �Database Visualisations�?
