Social media’s potential to contribute to partisan polarization is undeniable. In Ymr.x machine learning and 3D data mapping is used to investigate a dataset of more than 8,000 Twitter impressions on a recent local political event. In this way, insights and the geometry of users’ interactions are uncovered. Our gamified approach shows an experimental cityscape design, bridging the virtual and physical realms. We invite you to explore the networks between these polarized communities and experience the tweet bubbles.
