Knowledge Wall
Visual Language of Ideas
Live data-driven installation for the City of Melbourne Knowledge Week 2014. Knowledge Wall - developed for City of Melbourne - presents event information, data visualisations, statements and imagery in the Knowledge Hub space in Melbourne’s Town Hall building.
The screen and software installation treats the text of the event as a data source, and looks for connections between the event statements, live twitter conversations, open data sets and event themes. Using a large LED screen (2.7M tall X 2.2M Wide) the installation is highly visible from the street to pedestrians, cyclists and commuters on the tram.
Overtime the screen presents:
- Summaries of all events, partners, exhibition imagery
- Twitter participation: twitter authors, keywords, n-grams
- and all information is time based as the event develops
The screen is on display until 31st October 2014
Developed for City of Melbourne: including imagery from Places for People, Urban Landscapes, and assistance from City Lab.
