September 11 Peace Memorials
Designed, developed and disseminated peace memorials to foster an appreciation of peace, and the vital need to find ways to conduct world trade in peace - not in war - and to remember the power of forgiveness and universal love - to realize that it is not possible to win a war on terrorism; to resolve the challenges of terrorism, we must seek and follow paths of healing and peace based on an appreciation of One Light in All.

Rainbow Cubic Sine Waves
The Rainbow Cubic Sine Waves appear to serve as a bridge between the cycles of light and Colour of the Light and Colour Cubes and the colours of the rainbow. The Rainbow Cubic Sine Waves also represent an experiment in morphing the rectilinear structure of the cubes into softer cyclical and curvilinear forms.

Gaia University
Design and development of knowledge-based curriculum, structure, information architecture and administrative framework - incorporating an extensive network of .net domains - for an Earth-centred, holistic approach to learning and teaching based on the science of Information Ecology and a recognition of One Light in all that exists - symbolized by the Light and Colour Cubes. Conceived as a key element in an evolving collaborative proof of the Gaia Mind / Global Mind hypothesis, Gaia University seeks to restore the essence of the Pythagorean / Hippocratic Oath - "First do no harm" - as a central commitment of education, and to serve as a model for a general framework for a knowledge-based economy and society based on appreciation of the fundamental properties of information, information systems and networks.

Peace Cubes / Virtual Light and Colour Cubes
Development and dissemination of a proliferating set of images based on developed models of the peace cubes / virtual light and color cubes as embodiments of properties of light and of nature. The existence of the cubes was discovered in response to a request from the outgoing Executive Director of UN-Habitat to explore the use of colour to identify the role of partners in a proposed web site for follow-up to Habitat II.
The Light and Colour Cubes were dedicated as Peace Cubes at an Equinox Earthday celebration next to the Peace Bell at United Nations Headquarters in March 1997 and have emerged as icons of Information Ecology and of a holistic approach - with the dimensions of red, blue and green appearing to correspond to dimensions of economy, society and environment - the three "pillars of sustainability" - as well as to dimensions of body, mind and spirit.

Hands-on Healing
Although Hand-on Healing has had virtually no visibility, conceptually it is at the heart of the vision of Information Habitat and holds a vision - and encourages the practice - of discovering a wealth of opportunities to engage in hands-on healing relationships with the Earth and with other people - cultivating a living organic garden, preparation of healthy food, healing massage, picking up and recycling waste, and with hands on keyboards; discovering ways that electronic communication - with the new forms of public dialogue and access to information it makes possible - can become a healing force. in part by restoring common access to the properties of the whole, and making it possible for all voices to be heard.

Information Habitat: Where Information Lives
Guides and directs Information Habitat - a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Special Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council - with a focus on promoting the understanding and practice of information ecology as a holistic life science and as a framework to support a global transition to knowledge-based economies, societies and environments. Throughout the global conferences of the 1990s, Information Habitat has been the leading pioneer in the systematic application of information and communications technologies in support of broad-based participation, access to information and networking by NGOs involved in the work of the United Nations, and the development of an information ecology framework that can support a transition to sustainability, human rights, justice and peace, in the context of an integrated follow up to the agreements of the United Nations Conferences of the 1990s and their reconciliation with international trade and investment agreements.
