PhotoDance
A living, explorable universe built from a 30-year, 225,000-photo family archive.
PhotoDance turns a lifetime of photography into an infinite photo mosaic and an interactive galaxy you can fly through — reorganizing 189,000 images in real time by year, location, or camera model.
It runs on a four-stage AI enrichment pipeline — CLIP classification, quality scoring, event clustering, and face indexing — and a custom WebGL2 renderer. The culmination of a lineage of visualization work: MediaFrame, TimeQuilt, LiveLabs Pivot, and SandDance.

The Meaning Machine
How PhotoDance turns pixels into meaning — the enrichment pipeline, explained.
A guided, under-the-hood tour: how a single photo — to a computer, just a grid of numbers — becomes who’s in it, where it was taken, and why it mattered. Faces cluster and names propagate across the whole archive, captions get grounded in real places, and scattered shots fold into named events, outings, and trips.
