So last night, I went to see some of the Charles and Ray Eames films at the NW Film Forum. I was so very intrigued by the flow diagram used as the basis for the idea. The diagram in the movie is a version of Claude Shannon's Mathematical Diagram of Communication:
Claude Shannon was a very interesting and incredible guy - most of the theories expounded on in the Eames movie are just riffs on Shannon's original idea. Of course, with the Eames' flair, it's even more engaging. But it makes me want to read more about Claude Shannon and his theories. Maybe this is next on the reading list....
