Graph Commons Workshop, Transmediale, 2016

Graph Commons workshops focus 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. Workshop participants start from hands-on drawing exercises and gradually build complex compositions using the Graph Commons platform for collaborative mapping, analyzing, and publishing data-networks. The workshop asks how to extract models from complex systems, how to read those networks with methods such as centrality and cluster analysis, and also includes practice-based work sketching diagrams, editing graph data, and more. As a workshop participant, you will gain creative skills for modeling and analyzing networks, raise new questions and explore answers with your complex data, which would then inform your decisions.

Graph Commons workshops are designed and delivered by a team of experts with many years of experience creating, maintaining and supporting data projects around the world.

Please contact workshop@graphcommons.com for workshop inquiries.

Workshop needs: Projector, Internet connection, participant laptops, large paper, color pen, large drawing surface, and wall space to put up the drawings and presentations. Works best with max 15-20 participants.
