Seven Years Ago, this was what I wanted ... still do

Attached is a tiny video file (a bit cruddy) of an animation that I commissioned along with collaborator Kate Richards (consulting also with Tony MacGregor). It was put together in tandem with by a Paddington company called PXL.

Gorgeous in its original BIG 250 meg file, this little movie is a taster for our dream of a relational database that can be raised and animated out of a social-media map.

We made the movie seven years ago, wishing for this kind of capability. It's ALMOST with us now. And the idea holds strong -- gathering all the information along the Murray-Darling system, finding ways to cross-relate it, add in emotions and serendipitous associations, so that knowledge can start to emerge. And then, you'd hope to make contact with people with really deep knowledge -- the people with WISDOM.
