Something Ive been enjoying
Dear Dublin by Rudi OReilly Meehan
Rudi has previously spoken at a Codú event, and his work blends art and science.
"Dear Dublin" begins with an empty tabletop and only comes to life when you scroll.
Postcards stack on the table as you scroll through, building a picture around how Dubliners are experiencing tourism. Each postcard combines data visualizations and text, including quotes and stories from Dubliners.
Great work, Rudi!
If you have any ideas or feedback, reply to this email.
Thanks, and stay awesome,
