Havana on you
2016. Interactive data visualization.


Description and concept
The project takes the following question as its point of departure: Is the city's cultural representation an extension of the subject's identity? At present, this type of question inevitably derives from content shared on social networks. “La Habana en ti” (“Havana on you”) consists of an interactive data visualization, where the viewer's image is generated using thousands of photos taken from Instagram, related to Havana via geolocation. The database is constantly updated as long as the work is connected to the Internet, and it is technically possible to continue obtaining new images.
