rome is about making an authoring platform for these contact sensitive information graphics that allows you to explore conceptual space um the way that mapquests or like you know the the way that google maps takes all the potential routes that exists in the world for um you know like going from point a to point b and it allows you to view just the information that's relevant to use in an actionable way so you can get driving directions um rome is helping you you know it's a different kind of tool because it is just as much for the creation of maps as you are exploring the space
