The two large prints (150x75cm) are visualizations of income inequality in Los Angeles and Chicago.  The images are abstract diagrams of these cities and show a high resolution matrix of blocks. The height of these blocks corresponds to the income in the respective output area.

Herwig is currently completing an internship at the CDRC and Leeds Institute for Data Analytics.  We will be sharing more of his visualisations over the coming months.
