Venue: C4F3
Vanishing Point is a reading and news area in which visitors can sit comfortably and read the day’s papers. A map of the world is projected, which is connected to a database fed by news coming from several international newspapers. The relative visibility of each country on the map depends on how much media coverage each receives. Countries receiving little or no attention will disappear over time. Users can interact with the map and learn about the countries on it, while reading news stored over the last 50 days.
