Network Alchemy

In search of both computational and intuitive understandings of the nature of networks, Antonsen and Niemeyer push the boundaries of network visualization. In this talk, Greg Niemeyer and Roger Antonsen discuss their interdisciplinary collaboration and their explorations of networks, specifically network transformations.

At high levels of abstraction, they show how transformations are frictionless and enchanting. Boundaries seem fluid. When networks are more concrete, transformations are also more challenging.

Niemeyer and Antonsen present excerpts of their work, and discuss what creative research can add to the cold, hard structures of information technology.

Antonsen and Niemeyer worked together on major projects including Network Paradox (Catharine Clark Gallery. 2018) and Quantopia (Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, 2019) with DJ Spooky.

Greg Niemeyer (https://www.gregniemeyer.com/) is Chair and Full Professor of
New Media at the Department of Art Practice at UC Berkeley, California.

Roger Antonsen (https://rantonse.no/) is Associate Professor of Computer Science at the Department of Informatics at the University of Oslo.

The Network Paradox: Artist Talk

Greg Niemeyer is a Professor for New Media in Art Practice at UC Berkeley. He co-founded and directed the Berkeley Center for New Media, focusing on the critical analysis of the impact of new media on human experiences. His work focuses on mediations between individuals, communities and environments.

The title of his lecture refers to three data manifestations Niemeyer will be discussing, including his recent show with Roger Antonsen at Catharine Clark Gallery: The Network Paradox

Data manifestations are materializations of abstract data in the way people can feel. A Bell deals with sea water levels in bell music, A Core deals with climate data stored in the Vostok Ice Core, and A Node deals with the myriad different ways in which networks can connect to define emergent ways of life. Niemeyer's work includes collaborations across disciplines and across media from gravure etchings to VR, always with an eye for the poetic foundations of technical protocols.
