How the World Sees
Our ability to understand and navigate the challenges of this world depends on our ability to see and know what is happening around us. We find ourselves interconnected through instant communication that give us a window into the issues and ideas that concern different communities around the world.
How the World Sees maps the visual flow of real-time news stories from media outlets around the world in an immersive, living map. The project captures and visualizes headline news as images in different ways to reveal a dynamic and ever-changing global dialogue about who we are as human beings.
