Networks

Through the search of images, I looked at some of the information showed on the FACS 2930 site to see if there are anymore definitions or knowledge/meanings related to networks.

I looked through this section about 'online networks', what I found was that there's this site called the UMBRELLA.net

This site is a project, it's goal is here:


"a project exploring transitory or ad-hoc networks and their potential for causing sudden, striking, and unexpected connections between people in public and urban space. The project focuses on the theme of "networks of coincidence", or how shared, yet disconnected activities can be harnessed into collective experiences. UMBRELLA.net examines how the haphazard and unpredictable patterns of weather and crowd formation can act as an impetus to examine coincidence of need networks. In particular, when umbrellas are opened and closed in public space. The project will attempt to highlight these informal relationships by creating a system of ad-hoc network nodes that can spontaneously form and dissipate based on weather conditions."

What I see from this "network" idea is that within these images of what "network" is, maybe if possible within one whole page of search (without going through many images) that the similarities show in all. Like how UMBRELLA.net works, when someone in public opens up their umbrella, others too start to reenact the same action because of the climate change that affects us. So similar to when I search, there's certain to be some type of pattern of arrangement when going through the results. If that idea or way does not show any, maybe a certain image (second image of each page) shows a relation, a very coincidental or just spontaneous, but somehow has an "informal relationship".

Like earlier stated, how I could literally use the first page of result as my images that's collected because from my previous posts...I talked about how I was thinking about using the word net or maybe incorporating that concept. In this case, what I found, what I got from the search first are my first batch of "fish caught, or in this case the first batch of images caught in my net(work).

More reflection and results will be made...
