Looking Outwards 02: Generative Art _Alicia Kim 

The generative art piece that inspired me was Aaron Koblin’s project called Flight Patterns. This piece of art is created by parsing FAA data and creates different lines and colors according to flight paths. This project is impressive not only because of the technology and algorithm put into it but also the presentation of different colors and how he made multiple days worth of flights into one photo. Especially the intersections between flight paths generate a big spectrum of colors of light and as well as more tones. I suppose that he parsed multiple days of FAA data and made it into a single data piece and the colors represent different time, generating a large spectrum of colors. The different colors for different time was very intentional and generated a beautiful combination of brightness and tone. The creator’s ability to program and analyze data boosted his artistic ability to create this great piece.
