Overview

SB11 participating Artist Burak Arikan is to give a one day workshop focusing on the design and understanding of complex networks through mapping and visual analysis. Starting from hand drawn simple graph diagrams, participants gradually build complex network models. Network mapping, modeling, analysis, relational thinking, centrality, clustering analysis, and information design will be emphasised. Participants learn the most through observing and extracting networks from their area of interests, collaborative mapping, sketching, and discussing diagrams.

Graph Commons is used in the workshops for visualization, group collaboration, and further sharing. Participants are required to bring laptop for Graph Commons mapping exercises. http://graphcommons.com
