Air Traffic Visualizations Turn Data Into ArtI'm still working on some final posts about my experiences at Air Venture, but in the meantime I thought I'd share something which I just learned of via a co-worker.
The BBC is airing a new documentary series called "Britain from Above." Among other cool things, the show features visualizations created by combining aerial and satellite imagery with three-dimensional GPS tracks of various land, sea, and air vehicles. The results are both fascinating and spellbinding. See for yourself on Gizmodo. I can't seem to get the videos on the BBC site itself to run for me right now ... maybe you'll have better luck. Two aviation-related clips there in particular seem worth checking out: [Update: Seems the BBC only will allow computers in the UK to view that content, so you may have to find and use a UK proxy in Internet Explorer.] Similar work was released a few years ago by San Francisco-based artist Aaron Koblin, who "creates software and architectures to transform social and infrastructural data into artwork." You can see Koblin's art based on Federal Aviation Administration pattern and density data on both his old and new Web sites. I just may have to buy a print myself!
