Field notes
The investigation uses a visual timeline to connect 1990s workplace restructuring with the careers of Generation X. Its sections cite employment surveys, newspaper reporting, and named research publications, including figures on graduate unemployment and management delayering. The interface offers sound controls, arrow-key navigation, a birth-month-and-year entry, and links for adding to the record or getting a card. The project also identifies its image-making method, noting that all images except Magnus are AI generated.
