Organism Project

I worked on the Organism Project with Robert Gregory to create a form of artificial life.

XML (Killer Web App)

I worked with Phil Reeks for this project. I created a prototype of an image search engine that searched the real contents of an image rather than the usual data associated with image searches, that being either words close to the file in the HTML structure or metadata. In order to facilitate such an app, we envisaged a new type of semantic image format that contained information about the image in XML.
