Carbon Topographies

National emissions inventories record the greenhouse gases each country releases every year, broken down by a hierarchy of sectors such as energy, industry, agriculture, transport and heating. The…

Planetary Assemblages

Climate scientists have created an ecology of computational models that describe the interdependent components of the Earth system1. These models are driven by, and produce, vast quantities of…

Codex

Codex explores how Wikipedia’s language communities delineate space. The work grows out of the Terra Incognita project, focusing on how the encyclopaedia’s textual metadata can be used to…

Luminous Cities

Luminous Cities explores how urban landscapes are described by the accumulation of traces left by social media. Focusing on geo-coded photos from platforms such as Flickr, Instagram and…

Mapping Wikipedia

Mapping Wikipedia visualises all the geo-located articles for a number of languages. Each point on the map is an article that refers to a location somewhere on the…

Southern Ocean Studies

The Southern Ocean Studies are part of a series of works, produced with the assistance of the British Antarctic Survey, exploring how climate models can function as representations…

Locus

Locus visualises the media coverage given to regions of conflict over the last decade. Using the Guardian Open Platform news articles have been mapped to the relevant cities…
