Macroscope / Shaping Things

The Macroscope is a textual filter, a mode of meaning making enabled by databases and inspired by both Bruce Sterling's pamphlet and John Thackara's poetic response to the work. The Macroscope collects related nouns, verbs, and adjectives from the text of Shaping Things.

txtkit is an Open Source visual text mining tool for exploring large amounts of multilingual texts. It's a multiuser-application which mainly focuses on the process of reading and reasoning as a series of decisions and events and provides content recommendations through collaborative filtering. Our servers offer four sources at the moment: Hans Ulrich Reck (german & english), Lev Manovich (english), "Free Culture" by Lawrence Lessig (english).
