Political Profiles

by Frederik De Bleser, lieven menschaert

This project visualizes what goes on inside of the heads of the political candidates in the 2012 American elections. Using generative software, we map the democratic and republican candidate on a variety of layers:

  1. Keywords layers: containing keywords from quotes of political candidates on important issues.
  2. Campaign contributions: amount of contributions from various sectors.
  3. Regional popularity: a map of the states linked to a certain party.

The project uses an alpha version of NodeBox 3, developed simultaneously with the project.
