The+Corpus

=Corpus=

The Corpus is the principle artifact of the swarm. A growing body of work, it is the sum of contributions by participants and by the swarm engine itself. It is comprised of a wide spectrum of media inputs: text; 2D and 3D graphics; animation; video; audio; web pages; applications; scripts; programs; dialogs; plays; novels; screenplays; and much more.

The Corpus may exhibit any possible structure, and its structure may change from day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute. Participants will be able to tinker with the structure of the Corpus, as will the engine itself. Participants will determine the Corpus structure via the Corpus Architecture Atelier, a collaborative, immersive tool cloud for dynamic, animated 3D structure design and reification. Corpus Architecture patterns will be stored in a library for future use.
