netWorks – group exhibition at MAGMA Contemporary Art Space

The exhibition wishes to present artworks and projects based on some kind of network, connection system in a wider framework of interpretation. In connection with networks, most of us probably think of the Internet, and within, social networking sites; there is one artwork which uses the World Wide Web as a source, but most of the artworks are based on other kinds of networks.

NETWORKS: From the World Wide Web to the Artistic Networks by Albert-László BARABÁSI
Our biological existence, our ability to communicate, to exchange goods and values, are guaranteed by numerous invisible networks, from the protein and genetic networks in our cells to the world wide web, Internet and financial and trade networks. I will show that the amazingly complex topology of these highly interconnected networks are the result of self-organizing processes governed by simple but generic laws. As I will illustrate in this talk, the emergence of most networks are governed by these universal laws, result in architectural features that makes different, apparently unrelated networks much more similar to each other than one would expect. Our ability to unveil the order characterizing our interconnected world has multiple implications on network robustness and control, helping us to stop infection disease, cure genetic disorders, and potentially understand and control the structure of an organization.
