BioBronc Circle
Recently, I visited Megan MacMurray's website for her BioBronc thesis project. In her words, ""BioBronc" (is) A personal investigation into the consumer choice of the cars we drive, the love America has with cars and the individual decisions that need to be made about the fuel that runs them."
She is currently seeking funding for the project and has created the website as a documentation of her thought process and an informational site about the project itself. When I went to the site for the first time, what interested me were the videos. They are amazing little portraits, not only of the ideas behind and the struggle to complete the project, but of Megan herself. However, and Megan noticed this independently of my input, the project as become so much about re-defining the way these kind of things are documented, that the current state of the website seems to be doing the project a disservice. I am not sure the extent of the further directions that Megan intends to take the project. But my initial thought was to create a freeformed circle that would allow her to continue her documentation in a manner that would also facilitate interaction and commentary (and hopefully projects of a similar nature that could link back to it). I plan to create the circle this weekend and hopefully announce a full release of a beta test of freeformed by Tuesday/Wednesday of next week on the ITP list.
