Graph Commons Workshop: Mapping Civic Data Networks

This workshop focussed on the use of complex networks through mapping and visual analysis in order to expand your thinking about the network as a creative and critical medium.

 

Saturday: 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm Public Lecture 
The Graph Commons Workshop by Turkish Media Artist and Programmer Burak Arikan focused on the use of complex networks through mapping and visual analysis in order to expand our thinking about the network as a creative and critical medium. Workshop participants used the Graph Commons platform for collaborative mapping and network analysis using their own research data. The workshop asked how to map complex networks, how to read those networks with methods such as graph analysis, and also includes practice-based work sketching diagrams, drawing graphs, and more. As a workshop participant, you gained creative skills to answer your complex data questions, which would then inform your decisions.
