Drones over The Hague

Research collective SPIT obtained data on all drone flights over the city of The Hague. I visualised this data in 3D. I mapped where and how often drones appear and showed how many of these flights take place in prohibited or sensitive areas. The article was published in the weekly newspaper Den Haag Centraal.

Follow the Money

The journey of second-hand clothing

What happens to the second-hand clothing you donate? Follow the Money investigated by placing GPS tags on garments in collection containers. For this article I showed how second-hand clothing travels the world and how this apparently circular chain actually leads to extra emissions and complex opaque routes.

Animation accompanying the article in which I show the journey made by the tagged clothing. Many of these tags end up outside the EU. We follow one garment to a free zone in Pakistan.

Charts telling the broader story of textile production and the export of used clothing.

The route of tax evasion

How philanthropic money from the Rotterdam Van der Vorm family travels the world via tax havens and shell companies. Using locations and company names from trade registers I was able to map the route of the money.

Which countries did we visit and how long did we stay in one place? Did we sleep on a mountain top, at the beach or in the forest, and how many kilometres did we drive per day?

Driving through the different countries the variety of fruit stood out. One moment nothing but watermelons, blueberries in the mountains, to figs in Montenegro.
