Coterie

Coterie is an emerging series of experiments in the dynamic visualizations of online communities. Coterie reintroduces a human element to an abstract data source by creating visual representations that evoke the underlying activity and interactions among the members of an online community. The first experiment in this series portrays individuals as ovals, using a bouncing motion to show current individual activity. A person's saturation and opacity reflect their participation, over time, in the group.
