Data Breach Part 1
The New York Times

llustration series for The New York Times Wirecutter on Data Breach.
Part 1: I Tried, and Failed, to Disappear From the Internet.
An ambitious investigation documenting Max Eddy’s (writer) attempt to remove every trace of themselves online.
When searching for the right tone for this series illustrations and short animations, I thought it might be interesting to tackle a subject so closely related to online presence using a material as tangible as modeling clay. This was my way of trying to avoid clichés and creating a contrast with the digital universe referred to in the story.
