Hyperthinking and Hyperart

Interesting reading about Storyspace and mapping hyperlinks and trying to create technological tools that mimic thought processes. I was reminded of Mark Lombardi - a guy I met years back - who made art out of the complicated links in the Savings and Loan & Iran Contra Scandals of the 1980's. A good story about him is here:

I've had numerous notions and ideas over the years about a better interface that would allow from more organtic, visual and kinesthetic computers. A hard drive like a "memory palace" or a loci:

"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_loci"

...that could be created on a computer to mimic a loci in one's own mind would be a wonderful tool for creative organization - particularly since your mental loci could have a harddrive backup!
Cheers,

PS Sorry these links don't seem to work properly...
