Beijing resident Zou Yi set out to illustrate the pollution problem in the city by taking the same photo, at the same time each day, and creating a mosaic of the
resulting images.
"Like a lot of people... "I forget [PM2.5] readings as soon as I read them. A picture is worth a thousand words. If you see the same place, at the same time over a full year, the quality of the air becomes perceptible immediately." -Zou Yi

“Students rely on personal
observations and perceptions, which are developed through increasing
visual literacy
and sensitivity to surroundings, communities, memories, imaginings,
and life experiences, as sources for
thinking about, planning, and creating original artworks...
While exercising meaningful problem-solving skills, students
develop the lifelong ability to make informed judgments.” -§117.202. Art, Middle School 1, Adopted 2013

Hurricane Sandy Gas Map
“VERTICES President Dr. Wansoo Im and high school
students...worked together to create a community
participatory map, where anyone could report on the
availability of gas at stations they were visiting.
The project earned praise from US Sect. of Energy,
Steven Chu: ‘Your innovative use of social media and
mapping technology to make live fuel supply data
streams available filled a significant community
information gap.’”
