[2] Günther's work is characterized by its interdisciplinary approach, combining art, science, journalism and technology to address contemporary global issues.
His projects often involve the use of data visualization, mapping, and interactive media to engage audiences in critical discussions about the state of the world.
The project consists of a series of illuminated globes, which he modifies often radically, sometimes subtly, to reflect the socio-economic and political changes impacting the entire planet.
Le Monde Diplomatique ran his work on its front page in March 2018 The project has continued to this day, with close to 500 separate subjects covered and well over 1,000 globes - many of which are in public collections, such as in Ryōzen, Fukushima, Japan; World Economic Forum in Cologny; Kyushu University; Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art, Obayashi Corporation; the Autostadt, Germany; Aichi Expo Memorial Park (Aichi Kyuhaku Kinen Koen), Nagoya, Japan.
The most recent iterations of the Worldprocessor project were commissioned by the Japanese National Museum of Emerging Science (Miraikan), Tokyo for its Geo-Cosmos[10] sphere.
On this 6 meter one-of-a-kind display at the heart of the museum, high resolution digital animated versions Geo-Cosmos WorldProcessor globes,[11] have appeared there daily since mid 2011.
[14] Finding that his role as a journalist would not allow a proper presentation of his insights, he started Refugee Republic in 1994 as an anonymous project reframing the issues facing long term displaced populations.
A proposed state of refugees, networked electronically would, at least statistically, rank among the top 20 nations in population size and economic prowess.
[22] Several iterations of video projections on flags were shown in the 1990: "Shaheed", 1991;[23] Anti-Feyerabend (for Paul Feyerabend), 1994; "In the Realm of the West Wind World", 1996.
