Data visualization mapping 4 years of location history at Penn
A data visualization project mapping four years of location history from Google Maps data collected during my time at the University of Pennsylvania.
The title comes from a Chris Rene song I listened to during middle school. The animated GIF shows typical hourly movement patterns across Philadelphia.
Stats:
- 7,410 kilometers traveled over 4 years
- Average 7.4 miles per day
- 2.5 weeks to create the visualization
The project explores how data visualization can reveal personal behavioral patterns while raising questions about digital surveillance. I've since disabled Google's location history feature.
