This was made by the resident artist at my Uni, we've all got to evaluate it for an assignment what do you all think.

if you don't mind me asking given what you've got to go off what do you think it's about?

Actually I checked it out, I meant in terms of the algorithims and technology behind it, and perhaps how it related to brain theory. but sorry for being interested.

sorry, I didn't mean it in a smart arse kind of way, I was just curious of you concept of what it is or meant to be?.
I'm not to sure about any of the tech stuff involved.

oh cool, no worries, just a misunderstanding. I thought it was similar to something i saw on the net where visitors would search for say a musical artist and then submit artists they felt that related to that one. if enough people responded to it, the engine would somehow "gain intelligence" so that if i wanted to discover artists similar to radiohead, i would have an idea of what i might like based on what other people with similar tastes to mine would think.
so to make that a parallet to the link you gave, it seems like its mapping different people's associations and experiences with different words and seems like an interesting experiment. ultimately i think that is sort of like trying to find associations within people's word associations. what do u think of it? was it a computer science project or something?
