Furlong & Fathom

The world, measured in motion

The world's numbers, set in motion. Animated data stories and quietly satisfying simulations, built from trusted public data and set to music.

What we make

Data you can watch, explore and trust

i

Data stories

Animated rankings, maps and comparisons over time, drawn from sources such as the UN, the World Bank and NASA.

ii

Simulations

Physics, algorithms and generative patterns, coded from scratch. Ideal for a quiet minute.

iii

Explore it yourself

Every video gets an interactive page here, so you can pause, scrub through the years and check the numbers.

iv

Every source shown

The source of every number is credited on screen and on the page, with a link back to the original data.
