Passengers: BCN

"Data alone is not enough; data needs poetry". Under this premise, Dawes creates a visual essay on the effect of the COVID pandemic on the traffic of passengers travelling through Barcelona airport between 2019 and 2021. Three data-driven 3D printed sculptures fused with digital projections and a soundscape that reflects the airport environment. Through works like this - interactions with the digital and physical realms - we can better understand the effect of all facets of technology on our world.
