Facebook Demetricator is part of the 2016 SIGGRAPH Art Gallery

Opening this Sunday, Facebook Demetricator will be part of Data Materialities, the exhibition curated by Jonah Brucker-Cohen at the 2016 SIGGRAPH Art Gallery. According to the curator’s statement:

We are constantly surrounded by networks, information, and data. Whether they consist of electromagnetic frequencies or physical wired connections, networks are everywhere, consuming and permeating our offices, homes, schools, and public indoor and outdoor spaces. The SIGGRAPH 2016 Art Gallery exposes this plethora of data and transforms it to incarnations of tangibility that not only showcase their complexity, but also allow us to relate to them on a human scale. By injecting humor and kinetic energy to their exposition, the gallery makes light of these data platforms and presents them on a grand scale to reveal their ubiquity.

As part of the exhibition, I have released a major update to Facebook Demetricator (version 1.7), which hides more metrics than any previous version. The below video demonstrates the work’s new features.
