Frequent Flyer Lines

Mario Freese has brilliantly interpreted random flight statistics and patterns into an amazing piece of art.

Air Lines is an art project showing worldwide airliner routes. Every single scheduled flight on any given day is represented by a fine line from it's point of origin to it's port of destination. Thereby forming a net of thousands of lines. Hubs like JFK, FRA or DXB turn into dark knots where lines meet, lesser served local services are only are a subtle hint.

I can't stop staring at them!

Tango, I wouldn't say so ... the idea is quite universal and Aaron Koblin only showed the USA in quite different ways. I like how this Marios Idea showes the whole world as a map of lines in a quite simple graphic way.
