The planet keeps a ledger. Here it is, drawn.
Fifty years of every great earthquake on Earth, and the last four months of everything above magnitude 5.5 — the USGS record read into a grid space and written onto the board, refreshed on a schedule, every mark carrying its receipt.
This page is the exhibit. The space behind it is the product.
Where the Earth breaks.
Every mark is an earthquake at its true coordinates — magnitude sets the size, depth sets the shade. The Pacific ring assembles itself out of the data; nobody drew it. Toggle between the fifty-year record of great quakes and the last four months. Tap any mark and it answers.
The ten largest in the record.
How this was made.
The USGS event service, queried on a six-hour schedule by the box itself — no hands, no edits, a failed fetch can never overwrite good data.
Events land as records — payload, source, retrieval time — each at its own address on the board.
The space's AI reads the records and writes the map and the ledger onto the board. The ring of fire emerges from coordinates, not from an artist.
Every mark traces to a USGS event ID. This page shows the record as the service states it.
