Numbers and Mankind – Juliana Trujillo

How old is the oldest tree? How many people live in the cities? How much would a soccer ball made of gold weigh? How much urine did humans produce last year?
The exhibition shows the importance of numbers in all disciplines of human knowledge. Numbers appeared 5000 years ago, even before language and writing. Births, deaths, water and consumed energy, environmental pollution, child literacy or poverty. Worldwide data shown in real time. 40 counters projected on a 20 meter structure show what is happening in the world at this very moment.
