Visualisation by Nor

eleanor greenhalghShown first at the 2011 Oxford Brookes Fine Art Degree Show (14-21 May 2011) and then online, facilitator Nor's visualisation grabs edits from the story live, and allows you to forensically inspect the changes made by each author.

At the show this accompanied an editing booth elsewhere in the same building, allowing visitors upstairs to 'spy on' the edits being made by others downstairs.
