I've been privileged to work with some wonderful people on customizing the
BuddyGraph system for particular projects. This page highlights some of the
non-commercial projects which the code has been used in. (I've had some work in
commercial applications which aren't appropriate to disclose.)

Infotecture show,
NYC Artists Space
|
The work from the Social Network Fragments - SNF collaboration is going to
be shown at Artists Space Gallery
in New York from May 30th through July 13th! The following
is a snippet from the exhibition description:
In Summer 2002, Artists Space will present an architecture and design
exhibition devoted to information. Responding to our "age of information,"
this exhibition will focus on architects and designers who, in theory and
practice, address the primacy of information and its systems. Whether
structures built for information dispersal and exchange; creators that use
a rigorous, systematic, conceptual approach to define objects; or
designers making physical objects from information, such as clothing made
of digital fabric, this exhibition will address a rapidly expanding sector
in the architecture and design fields. ...
Work to be on display May 30-July 13, 2002

Social Network Fragments
Sociable Media Group, MIT Media Lab
|
danah boyd
(homepage)
of the MIT Media Lab's Sociable Media Group and I collaborated on creating
visualizations
of structural holes in an individual's social network. The following is a
quote from the overview document, available at the
Media Lab SNF
Project homepage:
Social Network Fragments is interested in exploring the
structure of an
individual's social network, as conveyed through one's email behaviors. The
relationship between actors in one's network says a great deal about the
individual, revealing how s/he segments their social identity. In this project, we
use visualization techniques to reveal the patterns embedded in the immense social
data accumulated during one's digital email interactions.
This work was presented at Media Lab Sponsor conferences (Things That Think,
March 2002; Digital Life, May 2002).

Sunbelt XXII
New Orleans, 2002

This work was presented at a talk
(lecture slides)
given the Sunbelt Social Network Conference XXII (New Orleans, LA; February 13-17, 2002).
The BuddyGraph Sunbelt page contains good examples of the spring/wire algorithm
used in BuddyGraph.

The Early Days
|
BuddyGraph grew out of some code I wrote while running a GISP at Brown University
in the Spring of 1999. For those interested in the early development of BuddyGraph,
this area shows some concept sketches and early screenshots.
