Principles

How the miniatures are made

  1. 01

    Every number has a source

    The data comes from public registers, and every miniature links to its source. The methodology says what is measured and what is simplified.

  2. 02

    The data is current

    The miniatures read data straight from the source. The live grid refreshes every 15 minutes, so every day it shows a different day.

  3. 03

    One dial

    Each miniature has one main axis, usually time. Move it and watch the whole system change.
