I built ARES over a single weekend for Earth Day 2026, as a way to make the scale of human conflict impossible to look away from. It's an interactive visualizer spanning 3000 BCE to the present, built on 23,000+ records I scraped from Wikipedia and structured into a single timeline of war.
Every conflict is plotted, classified by type — territorial, civil, religious, colonial, genocide, revolution, independence — and rendered as particles and heatmaps across a turning globe, with a running count of estimated deaths that climbs as you move through history. Click any point and the original Wikipedia entry surfaces alongside it.
