interface

humans & bots

humans

humans do appreciation, let them interact with process and data

let humans change the course when they feel like it

bots

bots do number crunching, let them follow your rules and harvest your well planted data

make sure data is shown as much as possible & processes are transparent

intuitive data interface

display data as interface

phase

tools become instruments

go do datamorphogenesis
