Albert-László Barabási

Science and Art. The two disciplines have always been treated separately and kept at a distance. Albert-László Barabási – a scientist by training, with a degree in physics from Bucharest and a doctorate from Boston, but also an experimental artist with a visionary approach – has always argued the futility of separation because “they are part of the same research journey.” To the inventor of network science, who created a graphical language for visualizing data 30 years ago, MEET dedicates its April Meet the Media Guru event. His speech allows us to enter the imagery of his research laboratory and takes us inside hidden connections that can not only be explored but also made visible for a better understanding of complex phenomena.
