Ain't she a beauty? The above picture is a screen-capture of a threedimensional visualization of our faculty's domain's website-structure. The program used was WebTracer2. The spheres represent webpages -- the larger the sphere, the heavier the linkage to and from this page. The red and blue edges represent links between the pages. The big yellow sphere in the foreground represents our institute's homepage, which I chose as a starting point for the WebTracer's spider. All the big white spheres arranged in a semi-circle are subpages of our institute's website. The enormous beam receding far back 'is' the structure of our online-project ethnology@internet. It's quite obvious that we dominate the faculty's domain in terms of structured hyperlinkage. All of this is not mere playing around and producing aesthetic pictures, but is one way of visualizing a chosen part of the internet in one of the many, many possible ways. Visualizations like that carry certain kinds of information which immediately can be grabbed that way. Currently I am testing quite some of this possibilities to evaluate them -- what is helpful and makes sense in cyberanthropology -- for my research-project.
