Artist Aaron Koblin used FAA flight tracking data to create this visualization of U.S air traffic over twenty four hours.
This work was originally developed as a series of experiments for the project “Celestial Mechanics” by colleagues Scott Hessels and Gabriel Dunne at UCLA. FAA data was parsed and plotted using the Processing programming environment.
Check out his Website for a o Google Maps version of the visualization and more interesting Artwork.
