ink2info
"Ink to information ratio" is a phrase coined by Edward R. Tufte in The Visual Display of Quantitative Information (Graphics Press, Cheshire, Connecticut) which describes the relationship between the amount of ink used and the amount of information communicated.

The question that ink2info seeks to answer, is - what is the minimum amount of ink which can be used to convey the necessary information? In Web-site terms that is the minimum number of activated pixels - the pixel-to-information ratio.

  The goal at ink2info is the efficient communication of effective information. This communication occurs by a combination of content and presentation and a site on the World Wide Web is the perfect communication media for the end of the twentieth century.
Globally accessible, immediately available and seamlessly interactive, the Web, and its host, the Internet, are the communications vehicle changing society now, as much as the Industrial Revolution in the 1800's. ink2info operates electronically from Glyfada, a sea-side resort on the outskirts of Athens, home of the 2004 Olympic Games.
