People that collect data about themselves are not necessarily interested on the data, but in the resulting information and how it can be used in order to learn something about them [Yau09]. This project proposes an artistic approach to the use of data from self-tracking applications. By combining an artistic perspective with an information visualization approach, we expand the frontier of the visual translation of data from self-tracking, with the goal of enabling the users to seem themselves in the artworks using their own data.
In this project, we create a set of visualizations that represent the variation of consumption in different departments of the SONAE's hypermarket chain, the biggest hypermarket's chain in Portugal. With this project, we aim to visualise the shopping preferences, and represent how the costumers change their shopping lists over time. We focus on highlighting the rhythm/pulse of consumptions and times of the year that disrupt the normal consumption patterns.
