Flow :
Visualizing Conversation Patterns
| Designed by : | Gracia Fei |
Flow is an exploratory texting app that attempts to tangibilize our closeness with people. It transforms data from our conversations (How much? How often? How flowy?) into information that can be meaningful to our understanding of the relationships we have.
Gaps between chat bubbles are a measure of time between messages. With every reply, the gap closes, signifying a reconnection.
When conversations start flowing back and forth, the text bubbles merge into one to reflect this feeling of being present together.
Our texting patterns with people—how much is said, how frequent, how ‘present’—manifest as an ever-evolving Relationship Blob.
