02. Solution - Data That Feels
Using one year’s worth of UNHCR statistics, Holition used creative coding and visualisation technology to create a compelling data visualisation. The visualisation was formed of 80,000 individual points of lights, each of which represented 100 human lives and the movements they had made around the globe, as per UNHCR statistics collected throughout 2015. The data visualisation aimed to show the true human element of the crisis, creatively mapping the journeys people make in search of a better life.
Working with artist and designer Helen Storey MBE RDI, this data visualisation was then projected onto the dress, where each light represented one hundred human lives. Each life was animated to illustrate the journey each one takes in search of a better life showing a map of human migration.
