Where I spent 2008

Personal Project - 2009

Go to another project:  

This folded paper composition represents where I spent the year 2008.

The volume of each cuboid is equal to the number of days I spent in different cities during that year. Chosen colours and shapes carry some symbolism, as does the visualization method: an abstract urban grid as a metaphor for place.

This was submitted to and received mention at a paper visualization contest organized by Information Aesthetics.

Quasicelebs of Yesteryear

The volume of the white cuboid (top) represents all days spent in Umeå, Sweden; tan (right) is Munich, Germany; red (middle) is New York City, US; gold (bottom) represents all other cities combined.
