The Age of Instagram

Analysis of Social Media and Foot Traffic in New York City

I am interested in looking at the role of social media in raising awareness to different entities, including art, infrastructure etc. This can also include mundane things, which popularity has increased due to social media, such as the Oculus. Specifically, the focus will be highly “instagrammed” entities and the change in foot traffic prior to popularity on social media. I am interested in mapping this and depicting a time lapse.
