Atlas of the Invisible. The World as We Didn't Know It

Geographer James Cheshire and designer Oliver Uberti transformed disparate data into visual graphics, maps, and charts that reflect trends in various aspects of our lives. The atlas they created allows us to see the reality that is usually hidden from our eyes: graphs of happiness in different countries, the daily workload of men and women, birth and death rates, patterns of glacier melting. Visualized data can become a useful tool for those in power. For example, information about American car trips establishes more precise boundaries of states in America than those marked on maps. And data about fishing vessel routes allows us to judge the legality of their activities, contributing to the fight against illegal fishing.
«Atlas of the Invisible» will show how global warming destabilizes the atmosphere, how mobile phone data reflects population migration, and in which points on the planet the largest number of fires occur. These facts will allow us to view the surrounding world in a new way and treat natural resources more responsibly.
