The short film consists of 1440 frames, each representing data on the search heat for “immigration” on Google in the UK, recorded every minute. The data was collected using a machine learning model in Python and manually mapped to each frame of the film. The transparency of each frame corresponds to the value of the search heat.


The timeline of the film spans from 9am on November 5th to 9am on November 6th, 2024.1440 data is 1440 minutes in 24 hours.
