Longevity

Bringing depth to an existential topic

Our latest project is part of an ongoing series in the field of multimedia journalism, where we produce illustrated and animated online articles written by science journalists. It was funded by the Innovation Fund for Multimedia Journalism, written by Stephanie Schnydrig from CH Media, and produced together with Visual Minds.

The goal was to accompany a long-form scrollytelling article across the various platforms of CH Media. The piece was published online on watson.ch and in several regional newspapers such as Aargauer Zeitung, and it was also adapted for print.

The main challenge was to make a large amount of information accessible through images that feel emotional, yet remain sincere and precise. The visuals combine scientific facts with a critical perspective on the growing obsession with longevity. Through illustrations and gentle animations, the project invites readers to reflect on how we use our time, and on what youth and aging really mean.

The project builds on last year’s successful collaboration with CH Media on the topic of geo-engineering. Together with Visual Minds, we developed not only the visuals but also a custom backend framework. It can be directly integrated into online newspaper platforms while allowing us to retain creative control.
