Copenhagen Business School and the University of Denmark Use Tweet Archivist To Research Social Data

Christopher J. Zimmermann, a Data Visualisation Strategist with an Industrial PhD Social Media Analytics, used Tweet Archivist for heat mapping of tweets in cities.

We’ve used TweetArchivist in several interesting ways for our social data research (http://urbic.tumblr.com/page/3) from here at Copenhagen Business School and the IT University of Denmark, specifically the heat mapping of tweets in cities. This was a somewhat successful for example, when measuring geolocated tweets (as reverberating social noise) for the urban intervention of a new boardwalk in the harbour of Copenhagen called #KalvebodBolge. This is to see how much people use and talk about one city space vs another public one. Feel free to follow our social data work on Twitter at @socialbeit, or mobile data on @roamingdata.

(ART H 492) First matrix using thin solid rod embedded in thick wet clay. At first I tried a tiny flame, but that wasn't exciting enough so I bumped it up to a super hot narrow flame. I love how the showed a color gradient n heat from black carbon to clear to red hot

(ART H 492) I set up scientific lab glass, which has the same coefficient of expansion as pyrex / borosilicate, in front of a torch elevated by bricks to map the heat of a small super hot flame through hollow vessels. I love how they contracted and exploded out the back

People reported that happiness and love sparked activity across nearly the entire body, while depression had the opposite effect: It dampened feelings in the arms, legs and head. Danger and fear triggered strong sensations in the chest area, the volunteers said. And anger was one of the few emotions that activated the arms.

We could bemoan the false dichotomy of mind/body that has plagued Western civilization. But I’d rather we take the time to learn to feel and recognize these changes ourselves. What does this imply about our current methods of psychology and therapy? How can a social worker’s education not once under five years mention the body?

There is an imbalance in power between the mind and the body.

On a side note, Edward Tufte would not be pleased with the scale on the right. After consulting the original study it is a deviation meter, not based on temperatures but rather extremes based on the individual tested.
