#sonicvision frequency spectrum is divided in 3 portions (rgb) then each portion is divided in a number of samples that are mapped to create colors of a pixel column. x axis is time the emerging patterns reveal a lot about the construction of the compositions / noises ~ @p5xjs

Working with @fedfragapane and @piaaaac is pure joy. This time more so than ever. We must get our story right on #immigration in Europe. It is the toxic political narrative and media coverage that fuels people's concerns. Not the other way around. #heartsandminds @ODI_Global
I’m so glad to share a project I worked on for months together with @piaaaac, @martaforesti and @ODI_Global: Hearts and minds — How Europeans think and feel about immigration → heartsandminds.odi.digital/. Co-designed with Alex Piacentini #datavisualization #dataviz #infographic

Excited for the launch of Hearts and minds, a project I developed and co-designed with @fedfragapane and @martaforesti for @ODI_Global. It explores public narratives and attitudes towards refugees and other migrants in European countries. heartsandminds.odi.digital/

Despite perceived as immaterial, the infrastructure we call internet, the ethereal cloud, is greedy for resources. Kilometres of cables run on the oceans floors, tonnes of servers and devices that store and transfer increasing amounts of data, billions of KW of energy.

Measuring the impact of all this is nearly impossible and estimates vary by an order of magnitude, but the scale of it is massive and growing fast. We as professionals and as users of the web need to include these concepts in our habits.

Un pasto caldo è il primo passo per rompere le barriere e per valorizzare chi non trova uno spazio all’interno della società. Ogni settimana con il progetto Drago Verde consegniamo pasti caldi a più di 400 senzatetto per le strade di Milano. produzionidalbasso.com/proje…

A warm meal is the first step to break the boundaries and dignify those who found themselves marginalised from society. Every week with the project Drago Verde we distribute warm meals to more than 400 homeless people in the streets of Milan.
