Changing perspectives
For centuries maps have conditioned the way we view the world, aiding understanding but sometimes dramatically distorting reality. This presentation describes how new maps and projections are being created to show the size of countries proportionate to social conditions, health, great poverty or enormous wealth. The result is a series of irresistible redesigns that show starkly the injustices across our world.

What is most unfair?
How many people have no light at night,
or how much light others can afford to waste
- to shine up into space?
