The interactive application visualizes the number of tweets sent by the four candidates in the 2020 U.S. election. It compares the tweets from Donald Trump versus Joe Biden and Kamala Harris versus Mike Pence. The topics are divided into Covid-19, the healthcare system, and mentions of an opposing candidate within the period from October 25, 2020, to November 15, 2020. Each sphere or pearl represents one tweet.

This approach provides a quick and engaging way to highlight the specific interests and focus areas of each candidate.

The spheres were initially created in Cinema 4D, with a focus on accurately inputting the data I collected from Twitter. Subsequently, the spheres were implemented into a simple application designed with Figma, using the Anima add-on.

I had hoped to make the sphere structures movable and rotatable, unfortunately this was not possible in Figma at the time of creation.
