The Exceptional and the Everyday: 144 hours in Kiev is the first project to analyze the use of Instagram during a social upheaval.
Using computational and data visualization techniques, we explore 13,208 Instagram images shared by 6,165 people in the central area of Kiev during 2014 Ukrainian revolution (February 17 - February 22, 2014).
See all 13K images in one visualization; look at the timeline of top tags and the use of multiple languages ; find out how a computer sees Instagram images; read the essays which explore iconography of a revolution and use of social media as a political speech.
