Marcos Weskamp, Marumushi Tokyo

After completing his studies in Graphic Design the Argentinean worked for agencies such as Bascule, Razorfish and Dentsu. The self-taught web designer has created some of the most interesting flash applications such as Flick Graph, Habitat Perspectives, or Newsmap. The latter has been awarded at the Ars Electronica 2004. At the see conference #2 Weskamp presented his projects "Social Circles" and "Flickr Graph" which aim to visualize social networks and the interrelations and social hierarchies among the members of online communities. His objective is to filter information from abstract data matter and use his applications to make it visible in a new, surprising way.
