Week4 : Networks and Flow

Taylor, Liz, Yasmin and me teamed up for making Networks. On a first-time meeting, we've came up with so many ideas of building networks, and it didn't take too long to decide just one of many - connecting each person's traveling traces.

It was interesting to have three female students who have more than enough experiences traveling throughout all over the world. Obviously, I was the only one with few flights.

We started collecting data by taking notes of all place's name . A few intersections were found.
New York city was most-visited place among many other cities in the world. We t-pinned each city that we have visited or lived.


Some people asked us why we painted the globe white. I also didn't agree with the painting idea, but other three shared the same opinion to make the globe more personal rather than keeping the typical format with actual map on it. Finally I agreed(gave up!).

One thing I regret a bit about this project is that we didn't have a chance to go further with more ideas. These ideas include having more interactions such as audio narration. I was thinking that we tape each person's story about any place and make the t-pin point triggered by conductive thread, so that the audience can listen to the story when the thread is 'connected - networked.'
