1985

"1985" is a generative video inspired by George Orwell’s book "1984." It visualizes data leaks from the four ministries that governed Oceania in 1984: the Ministry of Peace, the Ministry of Love, the Ministry of Plenty, and the Ministry of Truth. The nature of the leaked data remains unknown. Scientists speculate that deciphering these visualizations could provide crucial clues regarding some of the most significant data breaches of the century.

"The Ministry of Truth—Minitrue, in Newspeak—was startlingly different from any other object in sight. It was an enormous pyramidal structure of glittering white concrete, soaring up, terrace after terrace, 300 metres into the air. From where Winston stood it was just possible to read, picked out on its white face in elegant lettering, the three slogans of the Party:

  WAR IS PEACE
  FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
  IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH"

from 1984, by George Orwell
