This project creates visualizations for the way that content is shared through Facebook. It creates branching organic visuals on a pastel background to show the different rates and tree-like structure that describes media dissemination using Facebook. The exponential share-based structure allows the graphic to start at the center and branch out to fill the space, so I think the algorithm may assign share trees randomly around the centerpoint to then extend in a somewhat linear fashion, but the curves of the branches may describe unique share patterns. The creator’s artistic sensibilities are manifested through the visual display of the linkages (the leave/flower graphics) and the algorithm that dictates the organization of the branches.
