information aesthetics

a new way to explore statistics by representing the values of the worldwide production of cereals by the amount of grains in a tube. two glass tubes, each representing a specific country, are filled with grains by hand, hereby reversing the classical retrieval of statistics: the starting point is the actual number & not the country. one glass tube shows a specific country, whilst the other glass tube can be used for queries for additional countries to detect possible correlations.visual
