At Trulia we are always excited about new ways of visualizing data and have developed many applications, such as our Heat Maps, consumer real estate searches, Street View and of course Trulia Hindsight. In case you haven’t seen it, Trulia Hindsight is a unique way to visualize the building of cities via animations using the year properties were built to show the growth of streets, neighborhoods and cities over time.

It’s always nice when you find others who share the same passion for data visualization and mapping. We are extremely proud to have Trulia Hindsight selected to be included in the Intermedia Arts and Solutions Twin Cities exhibit W(e are) here: Mapping the Human Experience.

The multi-media exhibit allows people to explore data and information through rich visualization. Intermedia Arts explains the purpose of the exhibit as:

“Recent developments in technology are expanding the ways we communicate the concept of “where.” Online mapping and info-graphic applications are allowing artists, amateurs, and armchair cartographers to chart the intangibility of “place,” etching their own impressions, emotions, and experiences onto the physical world around them. Embracing this new paradigm, the artists in this exhibit are charting unique territories while working towards the development of an emerging visual language that connects place, moment, and emotion across varied scales. Where is expanding. W(e are )here.”

Here is what the Trulia Hindsight exhibit looks like:
