Well, SMALLAB.ORG is not actually launching, but it's moving out of the Beta zone! Especially with this new blog section. Here is what it's supposed to be about :

  • Authoring artifacts : those will be defined along later posts, but in a nutshell, they are things that participate in the creation/interpretation of a piece, in the representation/capturing of reality. Be it an audio, visual or sculptural piece/representation/capture. Usually those artifacts are tools.
  • Powers of 2 : that's a complicated way of saying "what's digital" : powers of 2 are typical of the digital world since they're useful for calculation in binary format. Additionally, the name "Powers of 2" is an hommage to the great "Powers of 10" film by designers Ray & Charles Eames. But we'll get to that later too!
    Authoring artifacts that will be discussed in this blog are generally of a digital nature. Therefore, needless to say that discussing digital tools implies discussing the digital itself.
  • New projects & projects news : clearly, the purpose is also to post news on projects that are under work, such as Cimes right now. And announce new projects too.

Oh yes, my name is Matthieu Savary, I'm editing this website and I'm French so please forgive me for any improper use of the dictionary. Cheers!
