Innovation Synapse:
Visualizing Yale's Entrepreneurial Neural Network
This series of graphic installations at Yale Venture’s new headquater celebrates Yale's innovation ecosystem—a vibrant community where ideas, collaborations, and outcomes flow freely across disciplines and through spaces around campus.
Through an interconnected, non-linear design inspired by neural networks, this artwork reflects how innovation actually happens: through countless connections, unexpected pathways, and continuous adaptation. Just as neurons form complex networks to create new patterns of thought, Yale's innovation community unites diverse perspectives, expertise, and initiatives to spark breakthrough solutions.
