ad 1 ) Expression through Information Visualization.

Building networked, metabolic applications to visualize, understand, and communicate large ammounts of information.

here I'd like to show the works I've been doing recently, Synapsis, Social Circles, Habitat Perspectives, Newsmap, and a yet to be released Rosario (visualizing server logs in near realtime) alt.kanjiBrowser (an alternative subBrowser to analize the way japanese kanji is used along the web)

http://marumushi.com/apps/perspectives/
http://marumushi.com/apps/socialcircles/

yet to come:

alt.KanjiBrowser

ad 2 ) Japan in the map: what's up in the web scene in the far east.

Although It's very hard for me to get on stage to represent everything
that is going on in japan today, here I'd like to introduce the biggest
works we've seen in the past year in Japan, maybe jump over those
ones that where exported and seen in the west ( most of Yugo
Nakamura's work has probably been seen all around) Flash on
devices, web works, offline works.
I'd also like to connect from the stage to RemoteDriver 2 here in Tokyo
and drive it, remotely, all around the office.
This are just some of the projects I got approval to show so far:
