This is really interesting, thanks for sharing it. I’m fascinated by the patterns that interconnect people and I’ll try an catch the show. Have you ever seen the film Koyanisqatsi? Some similar ideas.

I have been looking for ways to depict something like this to incorporate into an art project that I’m currently working on. The piece where it could fit is Axons and Dendrites, which is about viewing individual human interactions as being like connections between brain cells (micro level) and collective flow of information (macro level). A mashup like this would work nicely for depicting the macro level. (this is the type of thing I’ve been getting up to when not at work)

If you do indeed get your hands on same datasets like this, perhaps we might talk…I might want to use it, credited to you of course.

Cheers,
Mary
