This project was intended to visualize the air traffic above North America over the course of a day. Originally, this work was made as a part of the experiments for the larger project called “Celestial Mechanics” by Aaron Koblin and their colleagues named Scott Hessels and Gabriel Dunne at UCLA. They attained the flight information from the Federal Aviation Administration, analyzed the data and plotted them using the Processing programming environment. Colors and special effects were added later using Adobe After Effects and Maya.
