LOOKING AT ONE MILLION IMAGES: HOW VISUALIZATION OF BIG CULTURAL DATA HELPS US TO QUESTION OUR CULTURAL CATEGORIES.

The explosive growth of cultural content on the web including social media since 2004 and the digitization efforts by museums, libraries, and other institutions make possible a new paradigm for the study of both contemporary and historical media. Rather than only focusing on isolated artifacts, we can use computational data analysis and visualization techniques to study the patterns in massive cultural data sets.
