Amid the chaotic revolutionary scenes that engulfed the Ukranian capital during February, it’s easy to overlook that plenty of people were just getting on with life as normal.
These contrasts can be seen quite clearly in a new study and visualisation of Instagram photos called “The Exceptional & The Everyday: 144 Hours in Kiev”, which was created by a research team led by Lev Manovich, professor of computer science at The Graduate Center, City University of New York.
It includes over 13,000 photos by 6,165 different users geo-located to Independence Square in Kiev between February 17 and 22 this year - hence 144 hours in Kiev.
