Exit | Diller Scofidio + Renfro

Installation that quantifies and shows the growth of the migration of the global population, whether for economic, political or environmental reasons. It immerses the viewer in a dynamic presentation of the data that document current human movement. The installation becomes a projection of maps that compile information from a wide variety of sources, processed through a programming language and visually translated. The presentation is divided into different causes of migration, such as political refuge, natural disasters or rising sea levels.
