Flight Patterns

Flight Patterns: "The Flight Patterns visualizations are the result of experiments leading to the project Celestial Mechanics by Scott Hessels and Gabriel Dunne. FAA data was parsed and plotted using the Processing programming environment. The frames were composited with Adobe After Effects and/or Maya."

I think this a more important video than you might think at first glance. It shows how the visual interpretation of data sets can be influenced by artistic sensibilities. I would argue it shows a glaring lack of artistic training in our scientists and engineers because we don't see more of this. There is tremendous potential here to interpret all sorts of data.
