[-empyre-] screens

[Martin Rieser]

Hi Kriss

No- for me data means anything in digital form-not just statistics-and the
new data cloud can adapt to any real topology-the paradigm shift is
precisely that this form of representation can be perceived holistically or
holographically through such technologies as mobile augmented reality-not
as a visual technology or representations in the optical sense.
