Zooming into an Instagram City: Reading the local through social media. Hochman, N. & Manovich, L. First Monday, 2013. 🏷️ /unread
Paper doi abstract bibtex How are users’ experiences of production, sharing, and interaction with the media they create mediated by the interfaces of particular social media platforms? How can we use computational analysis and visualizations of the content of visual social media (e.g., user photos, as opposed to upload dates, locations, tags and other metadata) to study social and cultural patterns? How can we visualize this media on multiple spatial and temporal scales? In this paper, we examine these questions through the analysis of the popular mobile photo–sharing application Instagram. First, we analyze the affordances provided by the Instagram interface and the ways this interface and the application’s tools structure users’ understanding and use of the “Instagram medium.” Next, we compare the visual signatures of 13 different global cities using 2.3 million Instagram photos from these cities. Finally, we use spatio–temporal visualizations of over 200,000 Instagram photos uploaded in Tel Aviv, Israel over three months to show how they can offer social, cultural and political insights about people’s activities in particular locations and time periods. 【摘要翻译】用户是如何通过特定社交媒体平台的界面与他们所创造的媒体进行生产、分享和互动的?我们如何利用对可视化社交媒体内容(如用户照片,而非上传日期、地点、标签和其他元数据)的计算分析和可视化来研究社会和文化模式?我们怎样才能在多个空间和时间尺度上可视化这些媒体?在本文中,我们通过分析流行的移动照片分享应用 Instagram 来研究这些问题。首先,我们分析了 Instagram 界面提供的能力,以及该界面和应用工具如何构建用户对 "Instagram 媒介 "的理解和使用。接着,我们使用来自全球 13 个不同城市的 230 万张 Instagram 照片,比较了这些城市的视觉特征。最后,我们对以色列特拉维夫三个月内上传的 20 多万张 Instagram 照片进行了时空可视化处理,展示了这些照片如何为人们在特定地点和时间段的活动提供社会、文化和政治洞察。
