Collection of texts
I've begun collecting relevant texts to my research and creating html pages to store them on my website. This has been a useful way to develop my web design knowledge and skills as well as provide theoretical basis for the research I'm undertaking into network topologies.

Exploration of topology: Knot theory, Inca Quipu, Jacqueline de Jong's Situationist Times (particularly Issue 3: Topology), psychogeographic mapping of urban spaces as explored by SI derive
Seven Bridges of Königsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia) as prefigure to topology and laying foundations for graphology (a graphic mapping of topologies)
Drawings of network devices - trying to visualise the invisible
Modularity
Small sculptural models of theoretical network topologies - knots
Loops laid into interface - modular Inspired by presentation of Plumbutter2 modular synthesiser
