LookingOutwards-07

This week I am looking at the work of Lev Manovich. Manovich is a digital culture theorist, writer, and artist. A lot of his work looks at media and technology. His project On Broadway, is an interactive application and pubic installation piece. The piece looks at data from Broadway in New York City, however, the data is not presented in a normal way with maps, numbers, and charts. In this project numbers are secondary to data in the form of images grabbed from social media and the internet. These images were taken from six months in 2014. The project showed how the city can be represented through the view of the hundreds of thousands of people posting images.
