Statement
Scale of Greed is a public-facing data visualization project that uses street art as a medium to illuminate the scale of wealth inequity in the United States. Placed directly in the streets of Chicago, each vinyl sticker design translates the often incomprehensible scale of wealth inequity using visual metaphors and the built environment to connect directly with the lived realities of everyday people. Situated at the intersection of data visualization, political cartooning, and guerrilla activism, the project seeks to make abstract economic disparities tangible, visceral, and unavoidable for everyday passersby.
