PWRT (The Psychoeconomy War Room Table) by Gustavo Romano, with Chema Diez del Corral, Álvaro Jesús Osuna Martín — part of Project Showcase, Visualizar’11: Understanding Infrastructures :: until July 30, 2011 :: Medialab Prado, Plaza de las Letras. C/ Alameda, 15 · 28014, Madrid.

The PWRT is built on the metaphor of the plotting table of the War Rooms, the place where possible tactical moves during a civil or military operation are discussed. Based on a tangible table, reacTIVision and fiducials, the system allows the users to place different flags on the stage of the global economy and to visualize the relationships between these countries in terms of some specific social and economic variables. The used data are collected from the World Bank the UN, the IMF, and the CIA through their websites.
