This project reminds me of something I did a couple of years ago: http://davemiller.org/index.php?nav_item=Gallery&gallery_nav=newscartoon_v2
This version without a doubt is far nicer and much more refined. In fact I think it looks stunning. But I think it's essentially it's the same concept - basically - taking words and phrases from live feeds -blogs - then converting into values and then representing those values. I'm sure I wasn't the first to have tried it either. Why the CC copyright, and is it possible to CC something that others have explored beforehand? Under the terms of the CC copyright we are allowed to share and remix the work but we must attribute the work to markus kison. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ markus - from my perspective this doesn't seem fair. You claim the idea for yourself as officially yours and yours alone, then insist that anyone else who's inspired by it must attribute you.
