In conjunction with this year’s Ars Electronica Festival people from our Socnet community together with artists, computer scientists, educators and policy makers will spend two days discussing a plethora of topics ranging from networks and power to information visualization. The whole program with nice network illustrations you can download at: <http://www.fas.at/news/_downloads/Language_of_Networks_program.pdf> http://www.fas.at/news/_downloads/Language_of_Networks_program.pdf Accompanying the symposium, an exhibition will present network visualizations in two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. Spectacular visualizations from the realms of business, medicine, society, sport, art and culture will be shown. One of the highlights will be the largest network ever visualized a 5 x 3 meter work by Vlado Batagelj. Ulrik Brandes has done a 3-D visualization which will be presented on a XXL media wall on the top of the Ars Electronica building. As far as I know this is the first network graph ever shown in the public space. The introductory lecture will be held by Lothar Krempel who also curated the exhibition. The evening lecture will be done by Jeff Johnson. Language of Networks is being produced jointly by FAS.research and Ars Electronica. With scientific support from the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Cologne (Lothar Krempel) and the Department of Commerce, Trade and Marketing of the Johannes Kepler University, Linz (Gerhard Wührer) Sponsors: * Austrian Federal Ministry for Transportation, Innovation and Technology, * Austrian Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Labor * "Innovatives Österreich", a initiative from Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Science and Culture; Best and enjoy!
