Interface, Design and Visual Indexing

Each of the panel are working in related ways in the context of this session, to address the storage and retrieval of the stories of a modern oral and visual culture. Four distinct projects will open out the approaches and thinking being pursued and the overlap that exists between them. We have become aware of one another's work over the last nine months, have been working on our separate projects for varying periods with and without budgets, and also have in common development cycles of from 5 - 10 years. These short presentations will each highlight the specific problem encountered or theoretical concept being tested and why the outcome of the project could be of wider social value.
