Using AI and generative design, 95 Weeks processes 198 news articles on the Palestinian humanitarian crisis (October 7 2023–August 25 2025). Comparing The New York Times and Al Jazeera by word frequency, the project reveals how language shapes collective perception across media.

The cover speaks to the conceptual core of the work: the power of language. Word choices shape our perception and understanding—becoming aware of these choices is powerful.

Step 1: Research

Compiling the articles: Perplexity AI > Most read article by week > TXT Files. Prompt: "Please provide the most read article from [insert publication name] from [insert date] to [insert date]." Which was then prompted for each week for each publication.

Step 2: Sorting by word frequency

Processing text as data: calling in the raw TXT file to Processing sketch > running through a word frequency code > then exporting as PDF files.
