New Political Interfaces:
The New Political Interfaces aims to visualize the influence of new means of communication in politics. Inspired by the influence of social networking systems in the Obama campaign, the team looked into content generated by official sources and political parties, in contrast to those generated by individuals in online systems. Using data from Twitter, they developed beautiful visualizations to correlate official and personal information regarding the last presidential election in United States. The authors, Cristóbal Castilla, Héctor Sánchez-Pajares and José Hernández, all from Aer studio consider the state of their project as a sketch, and are already working to add further informational layers, and to expand the analysis to other social networking systems.
