Global Consciousness is an international project based in Princeton, involving collaboration of scientists, engineers, artists and other figures from all over the world.

The aim is to examine the possible correlations that may point to a form of activity of worldwide consciousness. It has been observed, for example, that purely random structures are modifed at the time of events of worldwide relevance.
