In 1736, Leonhard Euler solved the problem of the Seven Bridges of Königsberg, which led to the foundation of graph theory, a branch of mathematics that studies graphs (mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects). This was a significant development, as graph theory later became a crucial part of computer science and network analysis.

“When NFTs gained prominence, I saw an opportunity to explore their implications. Rather than simply selling my artwork as NFTs, I wanted to create a piece that enables examining the NFT ecosystem itself.” —@arikan on critically engaging a new medium

How does the Social Contracts NFT by @arikan handle when minters have *huge* onchain social graphs?
Let’s see!
For example, check out this dank graph via @JordanLyall of @venture_punk, it’s massive and really quite beautiful 🤯👇

Each Social Contracts NFT is a dynamic WebGL graph, using data from @graphcommons.
As the artwork changes ownership, the graph updates to reflect new data, shaping its form and provenance within a custom ERC721-based smart contract. 🧬🎛️

The single most undervalued fact of linear algebra: matrices are graphs, and graphs are matrices.
Encoding matrices as graphs is a cheat code, making complex behavior simple to study.
Let me show you how!

I am deeply saddened to hear that Bruno Latour passed away. RIP.
His work inspired me greatly in my artwork as knowledge and system production as well as in building and maintaining the @graphcommons platfrom for empowering more people to understand and use networks.

Bruno Latour, the greatest French philosopher of the beginning of the 21st century, is no longer with us.
He honored us by offering to publish his last text - we are releasing it today as a sign of hommage, friendship and gratitude.

I got a lot from Latour's writing and prose style, and will forever enjoy not understanding his diagrams. RIP to a real one.

Bruno Latour était un enchanteur. Il avait renouvelé la façon de penser et de s'exprimer en sciences humaines et sociales. Sciences Po perd l’une de ses plus grandes figures et adresse ses condoléances à sa famille et à ses proches.
