Description
Real-time Twitter visualization for the MTV Video Music Awards by Stamen Design, tracking social media conversation during the live broadcast. The project visualized tweet volume, sentiment, and trending topics as millions of viewers reacted to performances and award announcements in real time. Stamen's visualization mapped the spikes and ebbs of conversation, revealing which moments — a controversial performance, a surprise winner, a red carpet appearance — generated the most social media response. The project was part of a broader trend in the early 2010s of "second screen" experiences that combined live television with real-time social media data visualization.
