I received an email about a wonderful new exhibit/collaboration "Map Marathon" organized by the Serpentine Gallery in London and those intrepid thinkers at Edge. The whole online gallery is fascinating, but what really caught my fancy was this image, apparently submitted by Bruce Sterling. It's a map of writers who are associated with Sterling, and therefor it has a lot in common with my research.
After some investigation it looks like the map was generated with Gnod, or Gnooks to be exact: "a self-adapting community system based on the gnod engine." I'm intrigued--it seems like the site's connections are based on user input to its adaptive learning system. I'd love to compare these networks to my own data.
