Anymails is a visualization of my received emails. I have investigated how I can use natural metaphors to visualize my inbox, its structure and attributes. The metaphor of microbes is used. My objective is to offer the user another experience of his email world.
The project was developed during the MFA thesis “Natural Metaphor For Information Visuzalization” at the Dynamic Media Intitute Boston in 2007.
The emails used in the prototype are read from the users local Apple Mail database. The prototype was built with Flash and Processing.
I’d like to see this concept expanded a little bit. Email is the virus of the web (figuratively and literally).
