Cellular Nations is a program that
maps global economic information to a dynamic visual system. There
are two studies on representation of two hundred and thirty-two world
nations with visual cells. Economic information - GDP, GDP growth rate,
inflation rate - is mapped to the geometry and speed of the circles.
Military power is simulated by the physical power relationship between
the cells. Click on the images or links to view the applets. |
