The border as an interface - research in information visualization
For my Transmedia project I researched on possible representations of a line through the thematic of borders. Borders on a geographical map already have an existing visual form, a line (sometimes) or a zone, with a certain colour, thickness or so. But a lot more invisible layers of these borders can be represented and can transform the shape of the line. So overall I thought of how border features modify the form of the graphical line. I see the border as an interface, because they both function in between two elements/ systems and let them communicate with each other. An interface has a different shape, size, maybe colour when looked from a different perspective and I applied this same principle on borders. I focussed on three types of borders: Human-made, natural and digital borders. More information on my blog. http://nathalik.wordpress.com
