This data physicalization project transforms vast news datasets into glass sculptures by clustering thousands of articles into 3D landscapes. These tangible maps reveal patterns of media coverage and angles. Digitally scanned, the objects excite virtual strings through physical modelling synthesis, allowing audiences to hear the news—highlighting over-reported clusters and under-reported voices through sound.
