Collaboration with Stefan Sagmeister

Collaboration with Austrian graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister for the exhibition "Beautiful Numbers" that illustrates improvement in human development over time to reflect on the optimistic and inspiring message that "Now is Better".

The collaboration resulted in two animations that represent positive data in a beautiful way: one illustrating the global share of adults who can read and write, and the other comparing life expectancy over the long run. The exhibition was displayed at the Module of Temporality in Ukraine from October to December 2024.
