Evan Roth’s Graffiti Taxomony

Evan Roth, a Parsons D & T graduate, created a data visualization project that stemmed out of his thesis research. Graffiti Taxonomy was a study of the most common letters used in graffiti and a visual representation

of the diversity of shapes that the letters took. In this representation that is at the Foundation Cartier, Evan uses graffiti that is found around Paris as his survery group. The most common letters that are used for his survey are the letters A,E,I,K,N,O,R,S,T and U. In his presentation, the use is able to scroll through each example, sorted by the common letter and we cna se the original graffiti.

The project  is being presented in the form of an innteractive website as well as a physical representation on the building of the Foundation Cartier.
