An interesting art/science exhibit is underway called “Terre Natale (Exit 2)”, where they created a 30-minute immersive visualization of human migration data.
Visitors enter a dark rotunda to discover a mirror-image Earth revolving around the room, printing animated maps and data to the wall’s curved surface. Divided into five narratives, this piece quantifies both voluntary and forced movement across the globe due to political, economic, and environmental factors.
It premiered in Paris in 2008, and combines technologies from a wide variety of sources: Processing for the visuals, ZKM for the projectors, and several hands in the layout.
See videos & pictures of the exhibit at their site.
