The Art of News Feeds

Here is a really interesting read about how artists/web designers are creating programs that display news feeds in unique and artistic ways. Basically, all of these programs are attempts at making the web more visual. The article goes on to mention how there have been several unsuccessful attempts to make a 3-dimensional browser for the web. It doesn’t reveal, though, whether or not there are currently any projects in the mix for creating a 3D browser that works properly. I am totally ready for 3D internet!

"Electronic artists are tweaking RSS interfaces, harnessing Flash animation
and relational algorithms to breed outlandish, new ways of presenting
information captured from news feeds."
