60,000 New York Times front pages in one-minute video by Josh Begley

Data artist Josh Begley (b. 1984) has created a one-minute video compiling over 60,000 front pages of The New York Times, from its founding to the present. The visual timeline shows the gradual shift from text-only covers to an increasing presence of maps, drawings, and photographs—from wood engravings to black-and-white photos, and finally color images, which arrived in 1997. Begley, a San Francisco-based developer and data artist, is known for similar projects that compress vast information into short formats, such as "Good Luck with the Wall," a video assembling 200,000 satellite images to trace the U.S.–Mexico border. The project was reported by Valentina Tanni, an art historian and curator specializing in art and technology.
