“Connected” focuses on investigating the “The Human Network.” This network is a social structure made up of individuals called “nodes,” which are connected by one or more intermediates. Nodes may include, friendship, common interest, financial exchange, dislike, intimate relationships, knowledge or prestige.

We live in a community of connectors where everyone is at most six steps away from any other person on Earth. I engage my viewers by breaking down the concept behind the six degrees of separation and help them associate with one another on a much smaller scale. My visual output allows the audience to more fully identify with the various forms of human connection through animation and film. This project strives to discover different ways of humanizing connectedness through design that is user friendly and informational. “Connected” visually represents the relationships that people share, envisions the concept of connectedness, and encourages viewers to explore their own human networks.
