David Zwarg of Avencia was the first person to join the Sourcemap project from outside the Medialab – his participation is the reason that our maps work, and that they are so gorgeous. (this map is taken from the ‘Typical Laptop Computer‘ entry on Sourcemap.)

Avencia is a rare company. One of the benefits that we (full-time employees) earn is the ability to define our own research project after 6 months. There is a list of active research projects here. My personal interests took me to working with C. Dan…
We are very proud to know that David is working on such an important and interesting project as Sourcemap.
