Liquid

 

Some say information wants to be free. The reality is that power of information comes from the fact that information is interaction - information on its own is dead and useless and in a very real sense not information at all.

Liquid Information is about freely interacting with information, letting information interact with other information and ultimately, for you to become liquid within the information, to flow with the information, not to just skim the surface.

The reality is that when information is freed, it is we who become free. This is the central premise and philosophy of liquid information and this is my passion.

Liquid information points the way from the age of information to the age of interactivity.

I have been lucky enough to work with and learn from Doug Engelbart who really highlighted the importantce of what he refers to as symbol manipulation, which is at the core of my work, where I focus primarily on richly interactive text.

In support of the vision I produce software, host The Future Of Text Symposium at The British Library and consult and lecture at London College Of Communication.
