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.
