The Language of Networks – Symposium
The Language of Networks is a symposium / exhibition I co-curated for Ars Electronica 2004. The lineup was interdisciplinary, including visualization developers, media artists, mathematicians and social scientists.
The festival website is offline, since ars electronica restructured their archive, but the pdf program can still be downloaded here.
A nice blogpost about the symposium can be found here.
