Ginga
Spatial representation of information is proposed in the Ginga project, Global Information Network as Genomorphic Architecture, where metamorphic relationships in cyberspace are manifest in the form of an “Information-Scape”. Ginga is an interactive 3D browsing system based on a huge collection of digital information. Web resources are reconfigured with cyberspatial codes into Ginga and appear as any of the following 9 main Worlds: Nebula, Ring, Network, Forest, Strata, Text, Image, Polyphony, and Cemetery. Users can explore these Worlds with avatars (incarnations) which are personalized and controlled by users’ preferences. Users are expected to take full advantage of their “multiple other selves” for profound investigation and/or extensive research. It is also possible to exchange information with the avatars of other users and even invite them into your personal archives. Ginga has no static form, it can exists anywhere extended selves communicate.
