Collection of Collections
What is Collection of Collections?
My Process
This project was a experiential and interactive data visualization of a collection of data. The data was of collections I gathered information about using a Google form I sent to my friends, family, and peers.
Overall, I wanted to create an experience that people can walk into and experience a bit of nostalgia and to connect with others who shared their collections.
After I received enough data, I created squares with the given information on them. On the front of each box is a photo of each collection that was gathered from the form. The other squares had the answers that were collected such as the amount, approximate price, and the reasons people collect
What I learned
Once the boxes were made and put together I hung them up on a wall in a space that people will see the display easily and be able to interact with the boxes.
Anyone who interacted with this project could take the boxes off of the walls and take a look at the collections or use stickers to place on or near the collection boxes if they relate to that collection in some way such as if they collect the same thing, used to collect, gave away their collection etc.
I learned how to work with a large amount of data and how to display it all. I had fun going through and see what people collect, some people collect the same things I do! It was great creating this experience since I personally love collecting and have fond memories with family and friends and it was nice seeing other’s reasons for collecting.
