Factourism - the most fascinating facts illustrated
Factourism brings you the most fascinating facts of our world. It’s both funny, horrible, and unbelievable facts about people, animals, science, history, selfies, you name it. But most important: it’s facts. Real facts from the real world with real sources. With a visual and creative twist.
Project type
Background
We think that the world is fascinating. That is why we created Factourism combining our love of strange facts with our love for illustration. Factourism is an ever evolving series of illustrated facts that will intrigue you, make you laugh or horrify you — and quite possibly blow your mind.
Concept
Real facts from the real world with real sources
The concept of Factourism is quite simple: reliable facts with creative visuals. Facts can both be hilarious, mind-blowing, horrifying and surprising covering all kinds of topics like nature, culture, brands, science, climate, history or technology. You will explore things you’d never know about farts, selfies, pizzas, sweat, Ikea, nutella and even sex toys.
Animation
Movie time!
Even though Factourism is a series of individual facts, we couldn’t help making a short movie including some of our favourite facts. So sit back, relax and hit that play button.
Exhibition
Copenhagen Mall pop-up exhibition
We had the pleasure of moving Factourism out of its digital sphere and into a temporary exhibition at the Copenhagen Mall covering more than 200 square metres . The exhibition featured some of the most popular facts along an exclusive Copenhagen Mall fact.
Book
Coffee-table book
With no initial intentions of publishing a book, it was a no-brainer when we were contacted by one of the largest publishers. Featuring 150 of the most extraordinary facts in crisp colors, thousands of Factourism books have now been distributed globally and you can get your very own here.
