Slowly moving towards a broader consideration of interface and black boxing. Was the clarity I was calling for just a result of logical development following a method of boxing tools & utilities up? Are these boxes in a chain sequence or is it more organic? Where do I, the user, stand in this sequence?

The 'necessity' for such a system is clear, I'm glad one does not have to run each intricate item and dependency when executing a task. This model is not flawed or even really broken in any way. I'm looking at a logical consequence of this modeling: it's opaqueness. (Looping back to this seems terribly logical. It is suddenly quite a simple point to be looking at my research from, but anyway.)

I'm putting aside the moralistic and fearful opinions I have voiced between the start of the year and now, in order to concentrate on projects that might generate discussion / opinions for the audience it self.

In attempting to answer the question around the structure or sequence of the black boxes scheme, I collected a few examples of attempts of visualisations:


Temporary conclusion:

I understand why these technologies are boxed up, and why these boxes must exist. I am fine with them, but understanding their sequence, and where I stand in their chain could be valuable.

So I started to look at the spaces between the boxes. Leverage points. Friction points, where it might be possible to insert objects (prototypes) in order to reveal the structure.

Prototypes:

  • tips by tools: a bit old now, but still something I want to finish off. I attempted some javascript prototypes but not very promising with my skills at the moment. So I designed what I imagined the item to be, and I also have a CSS only proof of concept. Modes of address in interface.
  • plug-ins / add-ons 'stylish' redesigns
  • greasemonkey



  • scroll meter
  • the starting point
  • an excuse to learn js
  • non critical
  • question of the metrics, working out the metrics
  • a bit of the physical world on screens
  • relative units — relative inches
  • protoype homepage
  • plug-in method ?

  • visible traceroute, claim how complicated your page is!
  • cookie display?
