a new method for querying relational databases & live data streams through the manipulation of physical objects. parameterized query fragments are embodied as physical tokens ("parameter wheels"). these tokens are manipulated, interpreted, & graphically augmented on a series of sliding racks, to which data visualizations adapt in real time.
