Role: Coordinator Development of a learning and teaching framework and network dedicated to the understanding, creation and maintenance of digital bridges to span gulfs between people and organizations, and to demonstrate how the properties of information, information systems and networks can help to make manifest the interconnectedness of all life on Earth and the healing properties of information ecology. projects.takingitglobal.org/digital-bridges	New York, NY 2003.06-

Digital Bridges A home for the establishment and maintenance of digital bridges - across the many gulfs - digital and otherwise - that have divided and separated people, communities, organizations and governments. Digital Bridges designs and architecture draw on the fundamental properties of information, information systems and networks, including the fact that information has zero mass, zero physical size and can travel at the speed of light, and that information systems now make possible common access to and observation of properties of the whole.

Meditations on One Light in All: Twisted Pairs of Light and Colour Cubes A cycling series of twenty-four pages with images of "Twisted Pairs of Light and Colour Cubes" - pairs of cubes in which the one is the unseen side of the other. information-habitat.net/twisted-pairs/index.htm	New York 2001.12
Digital Bridges Exhibit at Westbeth Gallery Web site to enable access to the Digital Bridges Exhibit and to serve as a staging ground for a web site dedicated to Digital Bridges for Peace.	New York 2003.07
Digital Bridges in Peace Installation in the Digital Bridges exhibit at the Westbeth Gallery, with Reconciliation in 16 Colour Palettes as the centrepiece, framed by sets of images based on the Peace Cubes and highlighting the Peace Cubes as vital building blocks. information-habitat.net/bridges/index.htm	New York 2003.08
Databases
HABITAT3 - Habitat Three An evolution from the ECOLOGY database, Habitat Three is conceived of both as a preliminary organizing database for an anticipated Habitat III Conference to be held in 2016, and as a prototype digital habitat for the Third Millennium. The HABITAT3 database serves as the primary database of Information Habitat and remains one of the principle vehicles for the development of the DataPerfect Digital Engine that has become a central focus of Information Habitat: Where Information Lives.	Brooklyn, NY 2001.03
DIGITAL - Digital Engine The Digital Engine is a prototype for an open source digital engine based on information ecology design principles. The digital engine incorporates a set of related databases designed to enable the establishment and maintenance of interactive public fora, and incorporates an evolving set of protocols for the structure, field formats of data files, and a rule-based framework for relationships between data files. DIGITAL is being created using DataPerfect 2.6F - a remarkably powerful, versatile, robust and elegant remarkable DOS-based relational database that was released in 1985 as a key element of the WordPerfect Library - a library that included WordPerfect 3.0, and a powerful menu driven Shell program that allows rapid switching and data exchange between Shell-compatible programs. The use of WordPerfect Shell 4.0 - the latest version - is integral to the design and development of the DIGITAL database, for example through the use of Shell macros that can, for example, automatically generate a set of data fields and set up formulas that define the field values; through the screen capture feature that is invaluable in documentation of the database; and enable full integration with WordPerfect 5.1+ - the still unrivalled classic of word-processing software.

LIGHT - Let there be Light The success to the COLOURS database, LIGHT is evolving as an engine to generate light - through the generation of sets of web pages - for images based on the Light and Colour Cubes, and for sets of digital or digitized photos - and the integration of the images with text, documents, web sites, and relevant links.
