mvblogosphere is an attempt to track, map and analyze the exponentially growing maldivian blogopsphere, in order to draw a larger portrait of the social, cultural, political and economic structures it represent.

The mvblogosphere project got initiated when Senn (visual artist / network technician) compiled a list of the blogs he was able to visit from one random point and showed it to Shahee (media designer). With a collaborative effort, they were able to come up with techniques to visualize the blogosphere.

The visualizations are generated using a ‘dot’ generator programmed by Senn. Different ‘dot’ renderers and photoshop is used for the final output. Ideas about programming a ‘crawler’ to gather more data is being developed by Simon (programmer).
