Spatial History Project

Pretty interesting and ambitious project into study methods. I like the broad conceptual approach in this.

Spatial History Project

The Spatial History Project at Stanford University is an extraordinary endeavor designed to change the way research is done. A team of well-known scholars has been assembled to work on various research projects. Many of these projects are abstract, conceptual, non-linear and difficult to categorize. Moxie Sozo collaborated closely with Stanford to design and develop a website/brand that would showcase the research and promote the Spatial History Project to students, staff, potential donors and the press. The resulting site has the ability to expand and evolve as new projects are added. Additionally, Moxie Sozo developed a complete database-driven content management system which allows the university to maintain and make changes to the site without any further involvement from the agency.

Fields and Seams

What does the increasingly radio-saturated landscape – and our reliance on wireless infrastructure – mean in our everyday use of applications and services? Can we use fields as a material for creative purposes?

I read an article that used a cool word.

Networkism

There’s an undeniable aesthetic quality to many network visualizations featured on VC, but what’s interesting is to notice how the allure of intertwined complexity is contaminating many artists from more traditional realms (painting in particular) in what seems to be the emergence of a new artistic trend or movement. You can either call it Complexism or Networkism, but regardless of the name, this influence is clearly visible in the works of Sharon Molloy, Emma McNally, Janice Caswell, to name a few, where imaginary landscapes of interconnected entities are the prevailing theme.

Shown here is the work of artist/designer Tatiana Plakhova, an “abstract variety of linked dots union in empty space or deep in the water”. Made in Adobe Illustrator, these compositions clearly embody many of the characteristics of this artistic movement, pulling us in through the intriguing appeal of network visualization.
