Lives in Process
Description
In the weeks since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost three million of the country’s 44 million residents have left the country. The rate of the Ukrainian exodus is unprecedented in recent history.
This is a data-driven newspaper reporting on the Russia-Ukraine War and Ukraine’s refugee crisis with a real-time data prototype of visualizing the counts with font size and numbers of refugees fleeing Ukraine.
What were the most common words in the news about Russia-Ukraine War? In this newspaper, all the words in the news can be counted and their frequency is represented by fonts and rectangles of varying sizes to create diagrams that report on the real-time Russia-Ukraine War. The installation provides conversations through graphic design, more than numbers, facts, text, literature, or analysis; and allows viewers to do more than flip through the newspaper. Numbers don’t do justice to the people involved, each with their own story, and they don’t stir action.
