Wuhan Diary
Wuhan Diary is a visual diary about daily life in Wuhan during the pandemic. The project uses programming to build terrain-based visual languages from collected public opinions and confirmed case data. Colour and the density of rolling mountain forms express the social environment and the changing mood of each period. A three-dimensional earth shape was built from parameterised data in Unity. Wuhan Diary is presented as a poster of 420 by 594 millimetres, together with motion graphics, augmented reality and interactive projection.
