A mirror for your thoughts. A ball of APIs, machine learning algorithms and search engines interconnected. As part of my research toward the Hyper Object Web, I needed to concentrate on the level of data that seemed to capture people's attention, words and pictures. Where Orage and the Hyper Object Web are abstract avatars of your mind, Paiper reads your thoughts in texts and images. It is a tool of freeform expression (you can choose your modality), freeform sharing (you can save memories on different platforms) and freeform naviguation (each HTML object opens to other objects). It is another way of approaching data but not dissimilar to the knob which is much more immersive. Here you spread the information on the screen and let the computer arrange it for you. With algorithms of sentiment analysis it will try to follow your flow. You can move throught the data unlike any other browser. The data is either created on the spot by various APIs or gathered by search engines. This piece of software has been created generatively by iteration in order to work WITH THE FLOW as opposed to with the mind, or the training. This allows to create connections between data that are metaphorical or narrative, bridges by which you teleport accross the ocean of data in way that no other engine offers. In the latest version you can copy and paste other HTML elements from other domains and save them so Paiper can build and create entirely new web spaces on demand. The web is not a static place anymore with walls but a more fluid organism that forms and deforms. It finally becomes at the end the HyperHTMLObjectWeb. HTML objects become recipients to the finding and creating of other and new web pages. Later versions feature commands, speech reccognition, file upload, HTML copy/paste, memory saving... It is then integrated with the Maslo companions in order to create a shared surface of expression.
