Swirl

Category

Swirl explores the relationships between memory and space. As two international students in New York, we have taken photos of the streets, people and things we found fascinating ever since we moved here. By capturing the most significant colors from a situation, the palette becomes a cue for remembering that specific experience. Together the palettes create a color landscape of all the moments. The swirls are encouraging the audience to play by spinning faster as you approach them. Each palette takes you to the photograph they have been extracted from. The entire visualization is made in Processing.
