The website above is a useful one in the sense of providing me information as well as providing an interesting video.
'The Thing hates accounting more than any other crime, because it is the opposite of Wilding. The more men account the world, the less wild it will be'.
Stefanie Posavec visualised many of the time periods featured in the story for the V&A Memory Palace. She measured the world using Google World and created the image based on the distances between all of the capital cities. In the Withering, this is when nature has begun to take over, the figures begin to break up. Her final image shows the plants growing out of the data and expanding upwards.
Posavec is an American graphic designer and has been based in London. She is interested in exploring the concept of 'data illustration' and turns figures into a range of beautiful visual elements. For many years she has worked with text, ranging from book covers and book layouts to interface design. I love the way her work has a meaning as well as taking something so confusing and turning it into something beautiful is inspirational. I love this commission she has done for the V&A however I also enjoy her other typography work she has completed such as sentence without words.
