Sent to you by Roger via Google Reader: Emergence of a New Online Museum<http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/cosmicvariance/2009/10/05/emergence-of-a-new-online-museum/> via Cosmic Variance <http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/cosmicvariance> by John on 10/5/09 The Institute for Complex Adaptive Matter <http://www.i2cam.org/> has released a new online museum, The Emergent Universe<http://www.emergentuniverse.org/#/home>. This is, I think a truly novel approach to communicating the central ideas of the new field of emergent phenomena and complexity, combining the underlying physical basis of a wide array of examples with art and music. The site itself presents an animated, non-directed interface to branching sets of topics and what I guess one would call exhibits (since it’s a museum after all). A lot of these are quite fun, and instructive. A visitor is left with the feeling that there is lots more to explore. The interface itself, I have to say, is very cool and a glimpse of what is to come on the internet. Today’s text- and photo-heavy web pages are bound to give way to sleek sophisticated designs like this one… Have fun!
