I still remember coming out of his #CHI2013 keynote enthused over the challenge to make the monad visible and navigable! A few years later, I had the privilege to meet Bruno Latour at Sciences Po and discuss some of our progress along these...
In #CHI2013 keynote, @BrunoLatourAIME problematized the collective and individual:
»From aggregation to navigation, a few challenges to social theory«

Bruno Latour ends his inspiring #chi2013 keynote with: "the future belongs to those who are able to navigate through overlapping monads"
Latour's challenges for the CHI community are all about the visualization of monads: their narrative, genealogies, and overlaps #chi2013
Latour argues that many visualizations are not examples of visual complexity but visual opacity - we see almost nothing #chi2013
Latour challenges CHI community to make the monad visible: a view that was crazy in times of Leibniz and Tarde, but intuitive today #chi2013
Latour: in contrast to 2 levels, a monad is individualizing grasp of whole universe of relations - referring back to Gabriel Tarde #chi2013
Latour: by depriving individual and collective from all their connections, an artificially separate levels of scale are constructed #chi2013
as an alternative to collective phenomena and global views, Latour argues for collected phenomena and monadoligical principle #chi2013
stoked to hear Bruno Latour give the ending keynote for #chi2013: From Aggregation to Navigation
Patina visualizes personal and community usage of apps as heatmaps - nice application of social navigation http://www.autodeskresearch.com/publications/patina #chi2013
Great to see @emoto project being mentioned by Yvonne Jansen at #chi2013 /cc @toodrew @StudioNAND (whose credits are sadly missing..)
passionate and humorous talk by Megan Monroe on specifying intervals and absences in temporal queries http://hcil2.cs.umd.edu/trs/2012-30/2012-30.pdf #chi2013
chat with me about accentuating visualization parameters for exploration at our #chi2013 work in progress - demo here http://mariandoerk.de/accentuation/
today i'll give an alt.chi talk on the politics of visualization - between talks on toilet blogging and the coming robot invasion #chi2013
seeing/hearing about IRCAM was very impressive - with audience participation involving a sound-enhanced ball http://vimeo.com/22120867 #chi2013
interesting argument by Jennifer Mankoff for futurism and forecasting possible futures in HCI research beyond just agenda setting #chi2013
going to argue for deception in the ethics section. This will go one of two ways. http://cond.org/benevolent.html #chi2013
for those keen on Latour: today is his 2nd Gifford lecture on "Facing Gaia" http://www.ed.ac.uk/news/2013/gifford-080213 live stream now, podcast later #chi2013
