Visualisation Through Installation

     Currently United States has a rate of approximately 857 high school drop-outs per hour. That's really a serious number! The College Board, under its campaign "Don't Forget Ed!" set up a powerful installation on National Mall to urge the presidential candidates to put education to the top of their priorities.
     This installation is put together by 857 school desks that reperesent each student that drops out of high school each hour. Although computing doesn't have a hand in this project very much, I think this visualization is one of the most meaningful, brilliant and impressive visualisations. It's sending shivers down my spine!
