   Wow, that is pretty impressive. Could see quite a few uses for interacting with digitized content in libraries/archives/museums… Thanks for the pointer!

   Count me in – then we can use the leftover cash to sponser someone to create an application which allows you to navigate through a library catalogue with something that looks the same as the blobby dots he drew.

   I could imagine a tag cloud that you could “swim” through and bring different fields to prominence. Sort of like Aquabrowser but with colour/shape coding for each field and the ability to pull yourself through the fields…maybe pulling a couple up to the surface to compare them.

   The work would then, of course, be retrieved as a book cover.
