Raising Global Awareness
What Is Missing? Is the fifth and final memorial created by world-renowned designer and sculptor Maya Lin. It raises awareness around the human impact on our planet, and what we can do to reverse the path we are on.
The site is one large data visualization that gives a sobering but hopeful view into our past, and potential future.
What Is Missing? encompasses multiple platforms, with temporary and permanent physical installations as well as an interactive experience, which was the focus of our collaboration with Maya and her team.
An interactive globe acts as the main navigational element, allowing quick transitions from macro to micro level data.
"In working with OddCommon, they rose to the occasion, capturing the ambitions of the project and delivering them in a new, more sophisticated iteration of this ever-evolving work of memory, action, and hope."
