AnthroPosts: Visualizing Found Post-It Notes

anthroposts.jpg
AnthroPosts [anthroposts.com] visualizes a growing collection of found Post-it Notes in a variety of views. The interface allows clustering the notes by similarity in words, the amount of words that have been written on them, or their color intensity. Notes can also be searched by content.

In addition, the project features sound recordings of anonymous online workers, solicited through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, reading the notes aloud. The inferred significance of these notes contrasts our current age of shortened communication “bursts”, and causes the viewer to find a new appreciation in the individuality of the notes themselves.
