In October we began planning out the complete redevelopment of the Korsakow System, a software application for creating database narratives. Korsakow was originally created by Florian Thalhofer in 2000. The timelapse video, above, shows Florian hard at work in the CINERG office in downtown Montréal, creating an elaborate paper prototype of the new version. Reprogramming began in mid-November; we hope to have a new version ready to launch in Spring 2009.

Introducing Almost Architecture, a short interactive film about high-rise signs in Montréal. This is version 1.0: there are still a few minor glitches, and much more material to be added at a later date. Feedback welcome.

This database narrative was produced using the Korsakow-System. In order to play properly, this film requires that your web browser has Shockwave installed. (Here is an FAQ on Shockwave.)
