Mary Mattingly - A New Breed

Navigating Mary Mattingly's website is equal parts frustrating and rewarding at the same time. Some of her photography is scattered around various pages, but more importantly there is a significant amount of insight into the posthumanist backdrop of her work. Her exploration of transhumanism, communication, and the evolution of the human species is unique is several ways, but most interesting is her dedication to the ideas she explores. Many of the suggestions of her work (the "wearable home" and "G-Simpod") are seen in "press releases" and r+d drafts on her website.

Peter Mayer - LivesConnected

LivesConnected is an interactive visualization of the experiences of 44 survivors of Hurricane Katrina. Using a simple yet beautiful interface, it allows the viewer to trace the narratives of thematically similar individuals. The most interesting thing about the piece is how easy it is to navigate the different threads in a manner that enables the viewer to take control over the thematic material.
