About Lost Species Illustrazioni didattiche
Le tre infografiche costituiscono la base per introdurre il tema dell'effetto Lazzaro. Comprendono "Le sei grandi estinzioni di massa", "La veglia funebre delle specie", nonché un'infografica sulle "Felci e piante da fiore locali" (basata sulla Rote Liste, 2018). Il progetto si ispira al tema dell'effetto Lazzaro, espressione coniata dal paleontologo David Jablonski. Esso si riferisce alla riscoperta involontaria (per caso, nel corso di una spedizione o attraverso progetti di ricollocazione) di una forma di vita precedentemente scomparsa o considerata estinta.

- Design Challenge
- The hardest part was it to visually compress the complex topic informations of extinction from the anthropological, biological and paleontological side into an understandable graphic. The infographics are a part of the Lazarus Effect-Campaign, special attention is paid to the complementary interaction.
The subject deals with the death and (mass) extinction. The black and white style in detail and the rich contrasted illustrations are the best way of visualization and communication for this serious topic. - Research
- Research with anthropological, biological and paleontological literature, as well as support of various natural history museums.
The design is rich in detail. They are drawn as vector graphics in black and white and thus fits in well with most of the musee's scenographic installations.
The graphics are structured in such a way that the viewer can discover more and more. All thre infographics are in a large-format and understandable for everyone. The Topics are compressed and build on on each other. - Inspiration
- To educate about the extinction history and to promote the idea of sustainability among the general public, with emphases that extinction can be reversed, and to raise awareness of positive and negative human in uences on Nature. They are a part of the LazarusEffect campaign.
- Project Duration
- The project startet in may 2020
- Operation Flow
