The connections between artistic
representations of networks and the
rapidly evolving field of network science
are the subject of the latest exhibition at
the Monash University Museum of Art.
To coincide with the exhibition MUMA
has organised a panel discussion that
reflects on both specific works in the
exhibition and the larger issues the
exhibition raises:
• How do networks in journalism,
independent media, science and artistic
practice contribute to public knowledge
and interaction?
• How might we connect and transform
the multiple personal small worlds in
which we live, with our shared larger
world?
Join us for a panel discussion exploring
these questions and others raised by the
exhibition NETWORKS (cells & silos).
