The long-term goal of the project is to develop a series of visualizations of people based on their digital data. (See http://vivatropolis.com/judith/papers/DataPortraits.Siggraph.Leonardo.pdf )
This project will focus on portraying Twitter users. The goal of the project is to create a visualization that gives the viewer a more intuitive sense of the interests of a Twitter user and their role in the community.
The first stage of the project is data collection:
- writing the code to download a given user's tweets
- download the tweets of those they follow
- summarize who follows their followers
- how many followers they had
- how many they were following
The second part of the project is visualization:
- designing and coding an evocative, legible and visually appealing representation of this data
- topic-modeling and other NLP analysis of the subject's postings
- recommend using Processing, but open to other suggestions
