Screenshot: 10x10
Number27 has won the Webby Award - the leading international award honoring excellence in Web design, functionality and creativity - for best navigation/structure with 10x10.
 Screenshot: 10x10 was designed and developed by Jonathan Harris of Number27, in conjunction with the Fabrica communication research center in Italy. 10x10 ("ten by ten") is an interactive exploration of the words and pictures that define the time. The result is an often moving, sometimes shocking, occasionally frivolous, but always fitting snapshot of our world. Every hour, 10x10 collects the 100 words and pictures that matter most on a global scale, and presents them as a single image, taken to encapsulate that moment in time. Over the course of days, months, and years, 10x10 leaves a trail of these hourly statements which, stitched together side by side, form a continuous patchwork tapestry of human life. Besides 10x10, Number27 also won the People's Voice Award in the "Arts" category with WordCount, an artistic experiment in the way we use language. It presents the 86,800 most frequently used English words, ranked in order of commonness. Each word is scaled to reflect its frequency relative to the words that precede and follow it, giving a visual barometer of relevance. The larger the word, the more we use it. The smaller the word, the more uncommon it is. Number27's Jonathan J. Harris spent a year at Fabrica, the creative think tank of Benetton located in northern Italy, where he made projects as 10x10 and WordCount. Towards the end of his time there, Harris was asked to remake Fabrica's website. His intention was to create something alive and pulsing, constantly changing, reflecting the life and personality of the people in Fabrica. |
