About: Neil Wiernik (b. 1967 Montreal, QC) is an audio contortionist, curator and digital media specialist presently living and working in Toronto. Neil has shown his work and curated exhibitions in non-traditional spaces and venues since the late 1980's. His projects and mediums of expression have varied and include works in radio, print and internet diffusion as well as other non-gallery spaces such as derelict buildings, billboards, pirate airwaves and public space. He has presented projects at the Finland Contemporary Museum, ISEA, Subtle Technologies Conference, The Medusa Complex, Mutek Festival and Gallery Optica. Neil is concerned with various types of story-telling using abstract environments and spaces to do so. Often the development of these narratives involves the creation of custom tools or subversion of existing ones. When Neil is not occupied with the co-curation of vagueterrain.net, an online digital arts quarterly, he is working on his ongoing musical project under the monikor of naw. Neil's online HQ is phoniq.net

As a followup to his recent Amazon Book Network visualization, Burak Arikan recently created a suite of social maps documenting the evolution of his twitter network over time. Burak describes his curosities guiding the project as follows:
I decided to look at what kind of interest groups emerge as I cure my Twitter social graph. Do my Twitter friends have always growing interconnections? How do people relate? Do I have friends who link together otherwise disconnected communities of interest? Do my Twitter clusters expand or contract over time?
Check out the related blog post which documents and contextualizes the project.
