A crowd-sourced data visualization

My thesis project at the Art Institute of Boston featured a user-generated infographic juxtaposing emotions and social media apps. I’m interested in organizing information and using creative storytelling to jump-start discussion.

I asked the audience to identify what kind of community they live in—urban? yellow string. rural? pink string—and plot it on their age range. Then they were to use the string to map the emotions they associate with using different social media apps. The resulting real-time visual shows us what emotions people in different communities and of different age groups were associating with social media apps.
