Midsummer

Midsummer is a real-time visualization of the sun's position. A light source moves along two axes: The horizontal axis shows the sun's azimuth, which is the angular direction of the sun measured clockwise from north. The vertical axis displays the sun's elevation, the angle between the horizon and the sun. The two white dotted lines trace the sun's paths during midsummer and midwinter, marking the longest and shortest days of the year. The black dotted line represents the horizon.

Our social media feed has changed quite a lot over the past 15 years. What started out as updates of what our friends are doing, became information shared from accounts or pages to us as their followers, and now—especially “For You”—content shows up on our feeds, just because algorithms suspect we’ll find it interesting. We’ve also seen feeds go from permanent to temporary, with concepts like Stories or BeReal popping up. Given that timelines are where many internet users primarily get their information today, taking a closer look at their development is essential.
For all our fellow users of the Internet, The Hmm developed a workshop in collaboration with Soyun Park and Leo Scarin of RGBdog, that will be available at three different locations. Through The Perfect Feed, we invite you to craft your ultimate social media timeline.
