EE - Digital City Portraits - Brendan Dawes

Brendan Dawes was commissioned to create digital portraits for each city from gathering millions of data from social media sites from which they interacted about events that happened in their everyday lives. The data collected from different types of subjects throughout social media such as twitter, each colour represents different interactions such as tweets, favourites and hashtags. When the data is collected they start to create an image from a system which makes the image overall unique. I like this idea and think it's very creative, I would like to see if I could use this technique in my own work somehow.
