Launch project site

A four week, individual project exploring interesting possibilities for enhancing a sense of 'community-connectedness' in a shared/distributed working environment.

Within days of becoming a student at IDII, one becomes rapidly aware of the essential part instant messenger software plays in school community existence.

I chose to build a platform for interpreting msn messenger activity, using macromedia director - with the concept of using the instant messaging activity of the school 'buddy list' to affect a physical space within the school building, while also looking at ideas of comfortable ambient noise and communal messaging in a shared work space.
