VIRTUAL THEMEWORLD is a shards and space interface to themes about global governance and risk. I think this is meant to be the neat showcase interface for the Swiss Re Centre for Global Dialogue. (Swiss Re is a reinsurance company.) The Themeworld is a Shockwave based interface for exploring linked themes that when you first enter feels like Asteroids in colour.
Jan. 28 Update – I got an e-mail from the creator of Themeworld, Matt Bindoff of .bindoff. He justifiably corrected me that it is Shockwave based not Flash. If, like me, you are fuzzy on the difference see, Macromedia – What’s the difference between Shockwave and Flash?
