        i/o 360 ____
        i/o 360 is a multi-disciplinary design studio, specializing in design and programming within technology-mediated environments. Our projects range  from Internet web sites and internal web applications to CD-ROM and IPK  developments, video graphics and effects, custom application interface  design/programming, and media incorporated into exhibits and trade shows.
        i/o 360's range of work is born out of the many disciplines of our staff. From photography, videography, architecture, graphic design, animation, film, computer programming and network design, the converging disciplines give i/o 360 unique expertise and depth to provide clients with intelligent, creative and forward-thinking solutions to challenging design problems.
        We believe that technology helps provide designers with new tools and new media which create fresh opportunities for both expression and  communication. We seek always to operate at the nexus where evolving  technology and innovative design converge.
        All four of the creative partners are also active in design education, teaching  courses in new media design at Parsons School of Design. Blending education with practice is an important and ongoing ethic.

        Tomato
        "The idea behind Tomato was a bunch of friends who wanted to support each other," Horsham explains, "who didn't want to be employed by anyone else, and who wanted to find a space to pursue a different type of work." There is no fixed personnel make-up to the design company, formed five years ago by a group of graphic designers, film-makers, artists and technology-buffs. Right now, Tomato has eight ("or nine") partners, including Karl Hyde and Rick Smith of the techno-ish band Underworld. There are no titles or ascribed roles within the company. Members may work in small teams on advertising commissions, or individually on other projects in other media. Or they may pull together and work around Underworld.
          offer their clients solutions specially tailored, to fit the problem at hand
        you can not solve a problem, you can only respond to it for that moment of time
                  it's about making the images
            all things are part of the same continuing process, and this process is the key
          cleansing the system
        creative cross-pollination
          its eight members linked by friendship, shared office space and the loosest of financial arrangements
          lack of hierarchy
          the are no borders - the definitions are ridiculous - OPERATING PRINCIPLE
                          we are all in a journey. all your work is just experience. what you are drawing is maps of your experience and Tomato is the place where we go to compare experiences. we often take our reference points from areas outside the medium we are using - to enrich it. we bring a map from one territory and overlay it with another to see what happens
        it is about 'experience'
        it is about 'life'
        it is about the 'process' of doing it
        and this process is as much about breathing and heartbeat as about the things you do
        process is about evolution and development
        categories and process are anathema to each other

    sculpting informA(c)tion
          we're sculpting information, and the process goes through various media and you cut that media at a certain point and that becomes your piece of work
        anything can happen en route

        MANIFESTO FOR THE UNSTABLE MEDIA

        WE STRIVE FOR CONSTANT CHANGE; FOR MOBILITY.

        WE MAKE USE OF THE UNSTABLE MEDIA, THAT IS, ALL MEDIA WHICH MAKE USE OF ELECTRONIC WAVES AND FREQUENCIES, SUCH AS ENGINES, SOUND, LIGHT, VIDEO, COMPUTERS, AND S0 ON. INSTABILITY IS INHERENT TO THESE MEDIA.

        QUANTUM MECHANICS HAS PROVED, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THAT THE SMALLEST ELEMENTARY PARTICLES, SUCH AS ELECTRONS, EXIST IN EVER-CHANGING FORMS. THEY HAVE NO STABLE FORM, BUT ARE CHARACTERIZED BY DYNAMIC MOBILITY. THIS UNSTABLE, MOBILE FORM OF THE ELECTRON IS THE BASIS OF THE UNSTABLE MEDIA.

        THE UNSTABLE MEDIA ARE THE MEDIA OF OUR TIME. THEY ARE THE SHOWPIECES IN OUR MODERN HOMES. WE PROMOTE THEIR COMPREHENSIVE USE, INSTEAD OF THE OFTEN PRACTICED MISUSE OF THESE MEDIA.

        WE LOVE INSTABILITY AND CHAOS, BECAUSE THEY STAND FOR PROGRESS. WE DO NOT SEE CHAOS AS SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST, BUT AS AN ORDER WHICH IS COMPOSED OF COUNTLESS FRAGMENTARY ORDERS, WHICH DIFFER AMONG THEMSELVES AND WITHIN WHICH THE PREVAILING STATUS QUO IS ONLY A SHORT ORIENTATION POINT.

        THE UNSTABLE MEDIA MOVE WITHIN THE CONCEPTS OF 'MOVEMENT-TIME-SPACE', WHICH IMPLIES THE POSSIBILITY OF COMBINING MORE FORMS AND CONTENTS WITHIN ONE PIECE OF WORK. THE UNSTABLE MEDIA REFLECT OUR PLURIFORM WORLD.

        UNSTABLE MEDIA ARE CHARACTERIZED BY DYNAMIC MOTION AND CHANGEABILITY, THIS IN CONTRAST WITH THE WORLD OF ART WHICH REACHES US THROUGH THE PUBLICITY MEDIA. THIS HAS COME TO A STANDSTILL AND HAS BECOME A BUDGET FOR COLLECTORS, OFFICIALS, HISTORIANS AND CRITICS.
         
        ART MUST BE DESTRUCTIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE.
