Our Work
This is a selection of our commercial and experimental projects. The techniques used in these projects translate directly into innovations we can produce with our clients.

Flink Weather - Visualising Air Quality and Weather over Melbourne
Flink Weather was our entry into the Mashup Australia competition.
Inspired by the events of Black Saturday, we wanted to explore how air quality and weather work together and how events outside the urban environment affect the city.

White Glove Tracking
In 2007 a group of people tagged the position of Michael Jackson's white glove in a video of him performing Billie Jean.
This is a visualisation of the data generated from the position of Michael's glove during the 10,000+ frames in the video. More abstract and artistic than some of our other work, this piece demonstrates the power of data visualisation to transform a massive set of data into something visceral.

H1N1 Visualisation
Our H1N1 Visualisation is an exploration of how an interactive application can be used to better explore a data set than a static map. Being very topical, especially here in Melbourne, H1N1 was a good example of a dataset that has many interesting dimensions to explore.

Boroondara Significant Trees
Significant Trees
Significant Trees was our contribution to World Environment Day 2009. As an interactive website, the Significant Trees project maps the significant trees in the City of Boroondara and allows residents and visitors to contribute photos, comments and stories about the individual trees.
We firmly believes that data visualisation is a powerful mechanism for raising awareness of environmental issues, improving accessibility of government data, and increasing engagement with the general population.
By visualising the set of trees in the council's Significant Tree list, we hope to raise awareness of these beautiful trees, and engage the community through stories and photos of their local environment.

Delicious Circle
Delicious Circle is a visualisation of your Del.icio.us tags and the relationships that emerge between them over time. The time-lapse view shows the ebbs and flows of interests as well as the emergence of relationships between tags as they are used to describe similar posts.
Delicious Circle by Flink Labs
Delicious Circle uses the Del.icio.us API to extract your tags and posts and represents the multiple dimensions of relationship, interest and intensity of interest over time. The result is a compelling view into the user's historial interests and the natural emergence of inter-relationships between tags.
