Burak Arikan will be discussing his approach to fostering civic solidarity through mapping networks, and will present his new protocol for data sharing with Public Knowledge collaborators Sinduja Rangarajan, data reporter at Reveal/Center for Investigative Reporting and Jin Zhu, artist and member of the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project.
Across the country, lawyers are fighting gerrymandering cases in the courts. In Washington, the FTC is investigating Facebook over the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Online, communities are organizing. Data has irrevocably altered our political landscape.
At the level of political structures and infrastructures themselves, through the political process, to the larger framework of civil society, we live in an era when the intersection of media, technology, and politics is producing profound, and profoundly unpredictable, effects on the nation.
In the lead-up to the 2018 midterm elections, join the UC Berkeley Center for New Media, SFMOMA’s Public Knowledge Initiative, the UC Berkeley School of Journalism, and Boalt School of Law for a symposium, where we explore how our political system has been -- and might be -- “hacked” in ways its framers could never have imagined.

Join Burak Arikan, artist and founder of Graph Commons, and learn how to read and make network maps. Expand your understanding of the network as a creative and critical medium in this workshop that will focus on the design of complex networks through information mapping and visual analysis. Starting from hand drawn simple graph diagrams based on your area of interest, you will gradually build complex network models that map critical relationships about the issues that impact you and your communities.
