Cosmic 140 by iA, still available


The 140 most influential people on twitter, sorted by #name #handle #category #influence #activity. Plus: When they started tweeting and what they first said. It took quite some time until we had it in the shape we envisioned.
A0-Poster, super high quality paper, the parts that appear in grey on the file are PP-Varnish.

More Pictures, Info and a Video after the Jump!

It features the most influential Twitterers in each category, shows when they joined, what they first said, how many followers they have and how many times they tweet per day. All sizes are relational. The size of the big black circle represents the total users of twitter, every other circle is a direct representation of the amount of users represented. You can see for instance, that the followers of Barrack Obama indeed cover a big piece of the total users on Twitter.

We printed 1,000 copies on thick high quality paper by the best printer we could find in Japan. On the surface it’s more artsy than geeky as it is all black and white and it comes with a refined PP varnish that will look like something straight out of the Moma. But if you dive into it, you’ll find lots and lots of interesting data inside.
