Palette of Place
This project was inspired by the question, “How can we examine the colors a place and how do those colors change over time?” Using locationally tagged photos sourced from Instagram and a visualization technique developed in Processing, Palette of Place visualizes the photos taken of a place throughout the year.
From a distance, these visualizations offer a unique sort of visual fingerprint for a place. When viewed up close, other details become clearer, such as remarkably regular weekend spikes, certain days that have amazing sunsets, and even changes in weather and season. Through the Palette of Place, insights about a place are now possible that weren’t available through the Instagram newsfeed.
