10 x 10 - 100 words and pictures that define the time

Artist Jonathan Harris created 10x10 to highlight the images and words that form our definitions of time through the media.

Automatically pulling images and words from the online content of 3 large news agencies over the space of an hour, the application displays them in a 100 image grid which allows you to zoom in on specific items and chart their relative importance by the regularity with which they appear. Operating without human intervention, it creates a tapestry of current media events, threading a trail backwards in time.

Information (state of the) Art combining technology, media criticism and public awareness, 10x10 is an incredible resource for a wide angle view of mediated society.

10x10 was designed and developed by Jonathan Harris of Number27, in conjunction with the FABRICA communication research center in Italy.
