Art visualizing the trajectories of all aircraft flying over the United States

Since the land of the United States is wide, the aircraft is a popular transportation system, but it is an art work that visualized the trajectories of the myriad of aircraft flying over the United States. It is color-coded by model, airline company, altitude, etc., and the movie in which the route routed like a cranial nerve changes the density with time is fantastic.

When you close up a part, it looks like this. This is the northeastern part where New York and Boston are located. There are many patterns fluffy around the airport.


Representations like ink paintings. The place with a lot of traffic volume is getting thicker, and if you look from afar, it looks like the shape of the USA somehow.


If you further make this a video, you can see the relationship between time and traffic volume at a glance.

It is around 12 o'clock in the evening. Many airplanes are still flying, although it is midnight.


It has become sparse past 1 o'clock.


It's past 3 o'clock. Due to the time difference, planes such as New York and Washington D.C. will disappear and less planes will be able to figure out the shape of the map.


And early in the morning. The airplane begins to fly all at once from the airport in the eastern part.


I will fill the west as it is.
