Everything is Deeply Intertwingled –Ted Nelson
Alles ist Wechselwirkung –Alexander von Humboldt

innovation + interaction design for culture projects

Sharing Heritage provides meaning about our present and cause for our future. Open cultural data – as collected and provided by the openGLAM movement (= galleries, libraries, archives, museums) – is a treasure trove of our human history and understanding of the universe. The Chrono Research Lab chooses a few of these cultural wells and republishes collections with new design and interactive interfaces.
