Behind every strong art exhibition lies an interactive, multimedia kiosk, right? That’s what Poccuo and the curator of Magazines & War thought.

Maps chart the way forward, but, as far as Chicago’s Newberry Library is concerned, they also offer a rich glimpse into the past. For the Library’s latest exhibit, Mapping Manifest Destiny, Poccuo stepped in to make sure the word got out.

The age of the online magazine is here — and that's why Smile Politely, a small independent media outlet, asked Poccuo to help it find a format and design that combines the best of traditional print publications with the latest in blog technology.

The Visual Dictionary is a collection of words in the real world. Photographs of signage, graffiti, advertising, tattoos, you name it — they’re trying to catalog it. Since February 2006, the creators have racked up over 5,000 images of over 3,000 words. Anyone is invited to submit photographs.

Starting May 12, there’s a colorful new exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. What’s it all about? Check out the companion Flash site that goes along with the exhibition.

Modeled after a small Moleskin notebook, humus is an online “book” (of sorts) that invites people to submit entries, which are then “published” into a Flash slideshow. Photography, design, collage, writing, drawings, and more fill the pages.

Using a 1975 Polaroid SX-70 camera, Iowa City-based photographer Grant Hamilton creates one-of-a-kind original photographs from found objects and colors. He often trains his lens on the details of mundane objects like trucks or signs — an approach that reveals unexpected areas of quiet in a sea of visual clutter.

New York Talk Exchange illustrates the global exchange of information in real time by visualizing volumes of long distance telephone and IP (Internet Protocol) data flowing between New York City and other cities around the world. On exhibition at MoMA February 24 - May 12, 2008.
