SMS Student Xinran Qi, MS Media Management ’21, Launched a Data Visualization Project “New York, I Love You (2020)”
SMS Student Xinran Qi, MS Media Management ’21, launched a data visualization project entitled “New York, I Love You (2020).” This piece of work is inspired by the video “I Love New York,” created by Bardia Zeinali for Vogue, as well as her personal experience working as a location scout and producer for a number of TV series and short films in New York in 2017 and 2018.
In this project, Xinran developed a scrollytelling narrative that tells the story of filmmaking in New York through essays, interactive data visualizations, images, and videos. Using film permits data, archive photography and news articles, Xinran aimed to create a data-informed narrative to help New Yorkers and visitors to learn something new about the city in an entertaining way.

Starting in January 2021, Xinran will join NYC & Company as a Research, Insights and Analytics Intern.
