In
2001, ATTIK and Harper Collins released NOISE>FOUR, the fourth
book in the Noise project series. It features a ten page basic synopsis
of Telepress under the module "Agenda" from page 306 onwards. |

If
you can imagine your television set becoming the single most important
appliance in your home because you and your family organize your whole
lives through it, then you can also imagine how Telepress fits into
that scenario.
We understand how the world wide web brings information to our computer
screens and that we can interact with it using a keyboard and a mouse.
We can even send information in the opposite direction, like when
we use email. We are also becoming comfortable with using a remote
control to browse and send information in the same way through our
television set. This is where Telepress comes in. *Remember, all remote
controls have four coloured buttons, red, green, yellow and blue.
All screens have four corners and four sides.
Telepress is a categorization system, like a highway code, which aids
and enhances navigation for anyone looking for information through
any screen, perhaps a television, maybe even a mobile device.
Using the four colours and the four corners, Telepress aims to help
people intuitively find their way through to information and satisfy
their immediate need with a more desired effect.
It works using the same common understanding of how physical objects,
people or places can be organised and easily found by others. Try
to imagine the local community resources grouped and colour coded
around the four corners of the village square, from the doctors to
the hairdressers, the greengrocers to the solicitors. Everything exists
on vicinity and physical memory maps, rather than alphanumerical lists
or 'most relevant search result' estimated translation by a third
party like google.
The whole system revolves around “Need Oriented Filtration”
with the ten basic human needs grouped and colour coded as filters
or subdividers, like an index at the back of your local Yellow Pages.
