ABSTRACT
We have been witnessing a rapid explosion of video data in richer and broader widely accessed media spaces. Video itself is a very rich medium, including pictures, text and audio that change in time. This richness makes these information spaces very interesting, allowing the communication of huge amounts of information and an excellent platform for creativity to be expressed and explored, but it comes with a challenging complexity to handle. Visualization techniques can help to handle the complexity and to express the richness in these information spaces.
This paper presents an interactive environment to visualize and explore a video space with a semantic focus on cultural aspects, and stressing features such as their color dominance, rhythm and movement, at the level of the video space and the individual videos. It allows to capture, experience, and express videos' properties and relations, providing the means to gain new insights into our culture and to influence the expression of its intrinsic aesthetics in creative ways.
