Networks of power

An open source platform that seeks to identify the political past of civil servants who are currently part of the public administration or who want be. More generically, the aim is to visualize the power of the State with data. The project’s initial idea was to capture the data through a timeline for tracking political trajectories. But over time the platform has expanded to include other types of visualizations, relationships and comparisons, which allow for other types of networks to be woven in and for information that emerges from the connections between the data to be disseminated. The interface helps to compare the network of power of every public figure in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay. Users can create their own “networks” organized in a timeline filtered by role, territory and career. The platform was a winner of Blejman’s HacksLabs.
