Histography – ReThinking Visualization

Histography

In “Histography” every dot is a historic event presented in a timeline from the Big Bang to 2015. The project was created by Matan Stauber as a final project in Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. The timeline is linked to Wikipedia and is updated automatically. There are two main navigation tools: a timeline at the bottom where the user can select the period of time that he/she wants see displayed; and a sidebar that shows the categories of the events that appear in the temporal selection chosen by the user, including the information of the number of events in each category.
