Presentation and Abstract

Abstract

In the vast sea of networked information a new landscape has been born, its pillars of strength are not made of stone but instead digitised nodes of data. These nodes are as varied as they are numbered; from the linear to hyper-dynamic-always changing hubs of information that influence one anothers shape, volume and scoical meaning. In particular I am interested in exploring the concept of a self sustained flow of information and to further see how this can be articulated in a dynamic and complex way capable of reflecting its inherent properties.

This research begins with a look into how to consolidate and define a measuring of a networks activity and size and to explore potential ideas of how to articulate this environment in a visual manner. These findings will then contribute to a time based motion graphic, wether pre-rendered or dynamically generated on the spot with changing information is unknown at this stage. This research and deliverable will offer a new framework for interpretating data landscapes.
