Looking Outwards 07

Nicholas Feltron is an artist who uses code and computation to create his art. This piece I would like to talk about is on his website labeled BikeCycle. It shows a couple of different scenes that focus on the activity, popular routes, stations, bikes, and cyclist demographics within New York city. I admire this piece because I grew up being in the city weekly, it seems very cool to see my second home mapped out via bike schedules and routes. This piece was commissioned by the MoMA store. I am not sure how this dataset was collected and what algorithms were used in the making of this piece. This artist has a variety of computer generated informational art, as this seems to be his main artistic style.
