    At first glance, Ingo Günther’s glowing globes exude an aura of times past; evoking libraries from the Age of Enlightenment when such globes were on the front lines of scientific discovery. A closer look reveals that Günther has overlaid his globes with current geo-social and scientific data collected from institutions, governments, and media sources around the world, raising issues of globalization as neutrally as possible.
