VerThis is the video for “The Suburbs” by Arcade Fire, directed by Spike Jonze.

Building Audiences, Not Architects Or Buildings
“It is through crowds, groups and assemblies of minds of all kinds -specialist, technical, or professional; public, private or in-between; interested, disinterested, even accidental- that architectural ideas and agendas live and evolve as part of our world, in a capacity that allows ideas to genuinely change that world.

Visualization for analysis and for synthesis

Networks, chaos and innovation
“No medium in the history of communications has transformed itself with such blistering speed. But the pattern of an open, densely connected network leading to breakthrough innovation turns out to have deep roots — roots that extend back to the beginnings of human civilization.
