Welcome to the Bubble

You are invited to participate in the research study "The Bubble". This study was designed by Johan Nieuwenhuize and Robin van Emden for De Haagse Hogeschool / The Hague University of Applied Sciences.

Purpose of this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate patterns in the appreciation of photographic elements. We will, therefore, ask you to repeatedly choose from three photographs the one photograph you like best. The resulting data will be analyzed by an algorithm that will build a mathematical model of all choices made. This model is then used to create an interactive work of art. The data may also be used for a scientific paper on the merits of our algorithm.

Open and anonymous

Your participation in this study is entirely voluntary, and you can stop at any time. We believe there are no risks associated with this study. All data is fully anonymous. No cookies are used or stored. No meta-data is stored. On completion of the project, the full data set will be made available at the Harvard Dataverse.

Questions

If you have any questions on the survey, please feel free to contact Johan Nieuwenhuize through johan@johannieuwenhuize.nl. You can also follow the Bubble project's progress at Johan Nieuwenhuize's Blog at www.johannieuwenhuize.nl.

Three questions

What is your age?


What is your gender?


At what school level are you currently enrolled?
(Or what is the highest school level you have completed?)





The task

Our experiment is straightforward: you will repeatedly be shown a set of three random pictures. For every set of three pictures, it is up to you to click the one you like best.

There are up to 717 image comparisons to be made - we are aware that is a lot of comparisons! So if you can, for instance, complete 200 comparisons, that would already be great. If you are able to complete all 717, you are a superhero!
