Recently, lots of the employees who have been at Google since the early
days have seen the stock options vest, allowing them to cash out and
move on. The accompanying story will be about how Google's influence in
the 21st century will be felt through these people who have left. The
data points are the companies themselves -- who started them, what
they do, etc. My work, titled Regroup (The Ex-Googler Universe)
utilizes the information from these new companies to create a map,
depicting the ways in which the people and organizations are connected.
Regroup (The Ex-Googler Universe) is composed of pods, each
representing a single person, which are connected by ropes, displaying
a relationship with another person post-Google. The color of the pod is
determined by the field the company works in, while the size of the pod
corresponds to the number of employees at that company. The pods are
made of fleece and end caps (PVC caps, hose barbs, paint, metal
hardware). The total dimensions of the installation are 8 1/2 feet tall
by 21 feet wide by 13 feet deep.
