The information of a concert

If you regularly attend rock concerts, you probably follow some sort of routine, even if you don’t know it. Whether it’s perusing the assortment of t-shirts before the show, taking a photo with your camera phone when the band emerges, or commenting to your friends on how good or bad the audio quality is… when you think about it, you probably have a few habitually idiosyncratic concert-going tendencies. I know I do. Thing is, you probably don’t document them.

But Andrew Kuo has made a practice of it. The artist slash blogger slash NYT contributor spent much of the summer of 2007 going to rock shows at Brooklyn’s McCarren Park Pool and chronicled his routines and thoughts in an amazingly complex (and very cool) information graphic. Published in a New York Times article in October, this data visualization of seemingly random bits of somewhat subjective information not only shows interesting trends and commonalities during the concerts from the artist’s personal point of view, but does so in an pleasurably bright, color-coded, and graphically-rich way.

So at your next concert, stop for a moment and think about all the data that surrounds you. Surely that will help you enjoy the set.
