"A web application used to build and maintain an archetypal, invisible website format that combines text, image, movie and sound." Read more about it at 'default design' exponent Daniel Eatock's website, http://eatock.com/ :
"The first time I made a website was in early 2000, I wanted to publish the works I was making. After experimenting with a number of templates I rejected them in favor of a list of links. This format did not seam like an ‘idea’ or ‘concept’, I had not invented it or copied it, I had made it with the same pragmatic and functional necessity as my shopping list, and my weekly to-do list. Unlike my other lists, my website list was interactive, each link opened a work in the area immediately to its right."

Coudal.com linked to this, and I can't put it any better than they did: "Back Then They Didn’t Call Them User Interfaces. These Antique Radio Dials are beautiful. Some are backlit and some opaque but they all are attempting to organize the same information in a way that makes physical sense for dial-based tuning while making it easy for users to understand. UI problems are rarely new, and it sometimes makes sense to look back to see the way forward."

"Inspired by the collation and sorting of random data sources, Danish design polymaths Nan Na Hvass and Sofie Hannibal are reinterpreting information and expressing it by way of wooden sculptures, hand-benched silkscreen prints and offset posters. The result is a crafted appearance of layers and textures that belie the hard-edged nature of the raw data." — until 27 February.

"It's re-use of data in new – and often unexpected – ways that creates both social value and opportunities for economic growth. It's not our job to say where data might be useful; it's our job to unleash it and allow businesses and independent developers to build innovative services which they can then deliver to users. That's the story of technology through the years – and the way the World Wide Web itself has grown over the last twenty years."
