Calculating Empires: an huge online chart of tech history [1]

['Rob Beschizza']

Date: 2024-08-20  

Calculating Empires is a "a genealogy of technology and power since 1500" — a beautiful and interactive monochrome chart you can zoom in and out of to trace the connections between all such things in the modern age. I immediately crash zoomed in and found myself face-to-face with a Debord quote: "In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation."

It's the work of Kate Crawford and Vladan Joler.
