A turning point, after years of free exploration: focus is coming back to you, the user...
Keywords: interactivity, utility, tools... Stay tuned for some upcoming release!

A foretaste of the feast to come?
Building on the software toolkit developed at chronotext.org over the years, a handful of real-time 3d applications are ready to emerge.
In parallel, a growing interest for augmented reality, folksonomy and live data sources in general is probably going to spice up the menu...

2006
A year of recognition and maturity...
The ongoing research on text at chronotext.org can now be inscribed in a perspective of two thousand years of biblical reading, with the commission of a permanent work by the Shrine of the Book at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem.
In parallel, considerable progress has been achieved with OpenGL technology, multiplying the previous figures (dozen of thousands of text characters are now flying over...)

a metaphorical journey in 3 episodes on the theme of desert wandering...
Thanks to OpenGL, a technology previously used in expensive military flight simulators and later on in computer games, it's now possible to animate thousands of text characters in real-time, preparing the way for a new generation of applications.
Starting to envision works suited to physical presentation spaces (at the very same time, the Museum is knocking at the door...)

Several invitations to produce new works are the occasion to create more complete pieces.
In parallel, the processing period is reaching its end and a new era of pure java (or whatever works) is beginning...

An additional collection of sketches reflecting the way chronotext is evolving: each bit is focusing on a technical or metaphorical aspect that is likely to be integrated later on:
Programmatic experiments using dynamic-html and flash. Lack of appropriate framework, nothing worthwhile to be published...

The concept of chronotext is emmerging after a long and random exploration on the theme of interactivity in digital space closed by a series of epistemological experiences.
