Il Tempo della Quarantena - analog data visualization

The web portal of Domus magazine launched an initiative at the beginning of the COVID-19 quarantine in Italy, “How we live in quarantine: the journal“, asking architects and designers to submit their version of a journal, keeping track of how their habits and spaces had changed.

All of us in the Fondaco team spent some time thinking how to take part in this as a team of 7 people living in 3 countries and 2 different time zones, and we thought it would be interesting to collect data about our daily routine for 7 days: food, sleep, communications, distractions, grocery runs… also to better understand what’s changed and what has stayed the same.
We used the information to make an “analog” data visualization: the idea was showing our life as a set of patterns, to highlight its rhythm, also taking inspiration from Brian Eno and Robert Wyatt’s visual music scores for the Music for Airports album.

The result is a sort of pentagram, where each set refers to a different category of actions and each line is one of the 7 people in the Fondaco team.
