Iraq War Coalition Fatalities
The Iraq War Coalition Fatalities Project is an interactive animated chart of US and coalition military fatalities that have occured in the war in Iraq since the onset, mapped across the dimensions of time and space.
Also, some thoughts on objectivity:
Although I originally set out to create something as objective and apolitical as I possibly can, this project … made me question the notion of objectivity itself, as I found myself having to omit so much information, both voluntarily and involuntarily, in the process of creating this. Though my intent was to be objective, how objective can it really be when something as profound as human death — which, in itself, can have infinite interpretations — is represented with little more than a tiny black dot on a computer monitor?
