Observing Collective Thought: Developing social media tools for real time awareness of social preoccupations

The design of technological systems is necessarily influenced by the patterns of activity and capability of the human organism, the physical and mental modes of activity and operation with which we sense and affect the world. Taking this premise as a starting point, the research project presented at EVA 2016 seeks to reverse this relationship and, by examining the products of mass, digital activity, to discover something about the thinking of mass human community using digital technology.
