Berlin-Marathon, an interactive datavisualisation by Berliner Morgenpost

26 September 2016

Very cool interactive production by the Berliner Morgenpost. This interactive data visualisation shows the positions of all runners during the 2016 Berlin marathon. And yours, if you competed. By tweaking various settings, you can customize the experience. Great creative thinking. Rather than listing names and times in the news paper, the editorial team of Berliner Morgenpost, lets your run the Berlin Marathon again. Spitze!

Project info: A TV studio, a dozen of volunteers, a letter and one question. Those were the ingredients of a social experiment done by RNW Media. The experiment brought wondering, silence, misunderstanding and a bit of sweat.

I created social media video’s for the new global campaign of RNW’s Love Matters project. The campaign, with the hashtag #StepIntoOurShoes, promotes access to safe and legal abortion. The project was setup in collaboration with Women’s Global Network for Reproductive Rights (WGNRR) and Advocates for Youth.

This is what true media-free format thinking is about. Yes, you could interview prisoners, take their portrait photo and publish it in a news paper or magazine. That’s not what The Guardian did. This VR story, called 6×9, takes you into solitary confinement. Let’s you experience what it looks like, how it sounds and how it feels.

An amazing piece of work. Apart from the excellent production value, it is mind-blowing to see how many years the interviewees has been spending in solitary confinement. Put on your goggles and dive into it.
