helped john fass present his doctoral research on social networks.
in john’s study, people used elastic bands and pins to build physical ‘models’ of their social networks. i helped john build an interactive representation of one such model — push-buttons on a back-projected screen, to let visitors select and watch videos of a participant’s social network.
