Description
"Information Landscapes" was a pioneering research project led by Muriel Cooper and her students at the MIT Media Lab's Visible Language Workshop (VLW). It debuted in 1994 at the TED5 conference, where it famously "wowed" the audience, including Bill Gates. The project reimagined digital interfaces as three-dimensional navigable spaces where users could "fly through" complex data environments with layered text and images. Key collaborators included David Small, Suguru Ishizaki, and Lisa Strausfeld. Cooper passed away just weeks after the TED5 presentation. Documentation and software are now held in MoMA's collection.
