Aaron Koblin’s Flight Patterns

This project from data visualization artist Aaaron Koblin visualizes flight paths over a map of North America. Koblin used Processing to plot the initial dataset from the FAA, and then composited each frame using a combination of After Effects and Maya. I found this project interesting in the way it is able to tell a greater story out of disparate pieces of individual data.
