3D Cartography of COVID-19 Research

Ars Electronica Research Institute Knowledge for Humanity k4h+ (AT), exploration space / Austrian Academy of Sciences (AT)

More than 600,000 scientific articles on the virus have been published to date, with most of them having been written since January 2020. In order to grasp the magnitude of this literature and reveal the invisible (net-)work of scientists behind it, we made use of artificial intelligence to create a three-dimensional data visualization that displays all of these articles as luminescent spheres.

NAKED AI

What happens when artificial intelligence (AI) and human creativity intersect? Naked AI, a research project created and launched by Cisco Italia and Logotel, looks at how this encounter can lead to an evolution of human relationships, in companies and in society at large. There have already been encounters, and confrontations, between human creativity and AI.

​Nowadays, everyone uses their smartphone to carelessly send sensitive information, while blindly trusting the systems in the background, without knowing what is happening behind the scenes. We aim to enable people to follow their data by showing everyone how the transfer works in a comprehensible and interactive manner. This is done by using a person tracking technology within the AEC Deep Space 3D environment.
