SITU Research

SITU Research merges data and design to create new pathways for justice.

Who we are:

We are a visual investigations practice developing new forms 

of fact-finding to cut through digital noise and amplify truth. 

Working together as a group of designers, urbanists, 

computer scientists, and analysts, we synthesize disparate 

forms of digital evidence to provide exhaustive, factual 

accounts of contested events. 

Our efforts are focused on human rights, environmental 

justice, policing, and civil liberties.

What we do:

Abuses of power are proliferating across the globe. The 

exploding trove of data documenting these transgressions 

has the potential to establish accountability; but too often 

leads to false narratives that drown out truths.

We mobilize an arsenal of technologies to identify and 

surface critical evidence and then shape it into a narrative 

driven by transparent, accurate sourcing. 

Our work supports activists, advocates, and lawyers, bridging 

the gap between digital evidence and the communities that 

can best deploy them towards justice and accountability.
