Joyriding.

2 years ago, I didn't know the first thing about the web. I wrote, conceived, designed and mostly illustrated this internet journey by rail.

(I need some help developing the abstract for the connected relationship between separate days (of which I am presenting 100) and the spatial relationship between stations in a network. a similar abstract might explain the connection between railway stations in a transit network and broadcast stations in a radio/television/web network.)

I have pre-visualised the NIGHTlink network as a series of algorithms, based upon traditional commuter behavior on an urban transit system.

Analogous to the existence of different "platforms" in a subway stations to allow travelers at junctions to commute and switch between different transit lines, the NIGHTlink architecture also suggests a similar algorithm where the key variables are 10 Artists (x) and 100 Stations (y). There is a specific and finite number of possible connections using the x-y variables.

This fictionalized account is intended to suggest a new (old) model in intuitive graphic communication and information architecture. (with sparing use of the term "telecommuting") ;-)

Please enjoy the ride.
