Evolution through homepage

  • Evolution of Constant parallels the evolution of its website and the different datastructures produced during this evolution.
  • We want to discuss an approach to datastructure which is not pre-planned, which is organic and that reorganises itself within 'chaos'. Which is learned by doing rather than learned and applied. Which allows for experiment and follows the life of an organisation through its changes rather than through its fixed image.
