Visualizing Space-Related Activities Across the World

For this creative project, I created a visually immersive and artistic data visualization of global space-related activities. The project aims to create a sense of wonder and creativity for space exploration through unconventional data visualization. By focusing mainly on the artistic elements of the visualization, the project will have a larger emotional impact on its viewers, as opposed to a traditional data visualization. The project uses a comprehensive dataset of space-related articles, all of which include the location of the activity discussed in the article, as well as keywords and other fields. The dataset will serve as material to create a narrative that shows not only how space-related activities are distributed around the globe but also the overarching themes of the activities. To create the final project, I used the JavaScript library p5.js.
