Ink and Switch Interactive Homepage
Research lab Ink & Switch is celebrating its 10th anniversary with an interactive art piece called 'Tenfold.' The lab focuses on developing human-centric software tools that prioritize user agency, local-first data, and collaborative environments.
Why it matters
The lab's research into 'tools for thought' influences the future of software design and how users interact with digital environments.
We designed this interactive art piece with help from our friends as a celebration.
We call it Tenfold : ten letters, ten years. We built it with technology from our research.
Tenfold: Celebrating 10 Years of Ink & Switch An independent research lab exploring the future of tools for thought. We envision a new computer that amplifies human intelligence. A system that helps you think more clearly, collaborate more effectively, and is available anywhere and anytime. Though the specifics of our work continue to evolve, everything we do is in pursuit of this vision.
Our research spans a wide variety of domains from theoretical computer science to practical user experiences. We focus our research on four primary themes.
Exploring software architecture that returns data to users and enables collaboration in every tool.
Designing software environments where people can customize tools in the moment to meet their unique needs.
