Networks Within_Variation: The Stronger by Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (Doctoral School)

I was curious to understand the invisible threads between people, what the work and social connections look like at Barabasi Lab. With the help of a custom-made script, all active colleagues filled in their data: they were asked how many times on average they speak to their coworkers about work issues as well as non-work related. The data collection was conducted in the fall 2022, mainly in October and November, processed and analyzed in December and January 2023. In parallel, I sketched different ideas of possible visualization and realized these ideas as small prototypes. In the course of the data processing, I tested different interpretations of the number and strength of the connections. The present work is a “frozen moment” in the life of the lab. Each node is a person, and the number of the wooden sticks correspond with the number of his/her connections. The links are represented by paper-ribbons, where brown is social and white is a work connection between two people. If both a work and social link existed, this visualization shows the stronger (more frequent).
