We started this project with a simple question: “How can we make global inequality more tangible?” From that came an idea: an interactive simulation that lets people experience, statistically, where and how they might be born.
Each spin randomly assigns you a country based on the number of births per country. The higher a country’s number of births, the more likely you are to land there. The metrics you see — life expectancy, income, education and more — show what life on average looks like for someone born in that place.
Fast zwei Dutzend „Spins“ und ich habe kein Land angezeigt bekommen, in dem es besser als hierzulande wäre. Was den Rechtsruck in all den westlichen Demokratien noch unverständlicher macht, wenn man sich bewusst macht, wie unglaublich privilegiert wir sind. Womit diese Visualisierung hilft.
