'With Factor X to Reality'
...is the title of the 'Annual Multimedia 2011' article about Fashionoffice's research project on 'Memorized Data' and the effects on the construction of reality. The research was made on URLs and data sources that are constantly since 1996 online and daily enriched with new content. The study began in 2006 and ended with the last tests in early 2010. "Probably the article will wind up some folks because 'Memorized Data' can have good and negative effects on publishers and advertisers; but we can't please everybody. Sometimes it is more necessary to publish research results than to court for personal sympathies." Dr. Karin Sawetz, publisher Fashionoffice.org.
