Accompanying the solo exhibition of Barabasi Lab at the Ludwig Museum Budapest and the ZKM in Karlsruhe, this book will be more than exhibition catalogue: it comes with a range of voices and viewpoints that give readers a sweeping view of the work Barabasi has done over the last twenty years and how it connects to art, science, and our general outlook on the world today. The Center for Complex Network Research (CCNR) at Northeastern University was founded 20 years ago and the lab is dedicated to a deeper thinking about networks?how they emerge and evolve, what they look like, and how they impact our understanding of complex systems. The backbone of this book are the extraordinary visualisations, in 2-D and 3-D, that Barabasi?s lab has evolved, and which are unique not only to his practice but to the world of network theory and science at large. A series of essays and statements by scientists and artists alike will be followed by a long, beautiful array of breathtaking plates. Given the current state of the world, the book will also explain how Barabasi?s work relates to Covid-19 and how understanding networks helps us predict and understand the spread of diseases.…

On Albert-László Barabási and CCNR’s pioneering research into the growth of networks, from protein interactions and COVID-19 to the spread of fake news
The Center for Complex Network Research (CCNR) at Northeastern University, Boston, directed by Professor Albert-László Barabási (bestselling author of The Formula, Linked and Network Science), has a simple objective: think networks. The center's research focuses on how networks emerge, what they look like and how they evolve; and how networks impact on understanding of complex systems.
Barabási’s research has changed the way the world understands networks. For 25 years, he and his colleagues at the Barabási Lab have been developing the visual vocabulary of complexity, inspired by his pioneering research on everything from protein interactions to the spread of fake news. Their 2-D visualizations and 3-D data sculptures have enabled us to see how the complex systems that govern our lives actually function.
Hidden Patterns documents the evolution of the Barabási Lab’s visual language. Published on the occasion of a retrospective exhibition of the Barabási Lab’s work, which debuts at the Ludwig Museum in Budapest and then travels to ZKM | Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany, this large-scale, richly illustrated compendium features dozens of full-color visualizations together with commentary and curatorial insights by leading voices in the worlds of art and design.
