#InflatedEgos
Made with Is This Good?
Inflated Egos was an installation that visualised the popularity of the main political party leaders in the run up to the 2015 General Election. Built by IsThisGood? it used sentiment analysis of twitter activity to inflate and deflate a series of balloons that represented the heads of the leaders. If tweets about them were positive and plentiful their heads would expand. If tweets were negative and few their heads would deflate. This allowed us to see who the big heads were and who was feeling a bit deflated throughout the election, acting as a new type of swingometer.
