Concept
[project is in progress]
Access to information undeniably changes the way we see the world around us. In this project, your world is pixellated according to the press freedom index of the country you are currently located in. The website also allows you to explore your own countries' press freedom in comparison to any other country in the world.

Making-Of
I'm currently actively looking for technical help on this project, please reach out if you have any suggestions or leads! The code for this project's prototype can be found on my Github.
... the project started with some type-experimentations in p5.js
... experimenting with code that pixellates the user's webcam rather than just words
... the biggest struggle is to create a draggable split-screen feature. Still working on that!
