milkweed

description

A visualization of concept sharing within a small group deployed at Interactive Futures 2007.  Participants send text messages which are mapped according the frequency from bottom to top.  Each participant is represented as a Milkweed seed with as many strands as text messages submitted.  The seeds float in a simulated wind and are lofted by their own text submissions as they intersect.  Seeds with more strands have more levity.  Seeds with similar submissions are attracted to one another.
