6. Flight Patterns: A Deep Dive > Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments
I owe the idea and inspiration for Flight Patterns to two colleagues at UCLA, Gabriel Dunne and Scott Hessels. In 2005, we started an art project called Celestial Mechanics (http://cmlab.com) that depicts air and space systems in motion. A small part of the project was devoted to aircraft flight data, and they provided me with the data so I could build what became Flight Patterns. Thanks also to Mark Hansen, of UCLA, and Wired magazine (especially Carl DeTorres) for further assistance in procuring the data for these images.
[33] All of the images in this chapter are available in high resolution online, so if you find them intriguing, I recommend that you visit my website to get a better look at them: http://www.aaronkoblin.com/work/flightpatterns/. On the site, you may zoom in to the visualizations as well as view them in colors indicating aircraft altitude, model, and manufacturer. You may also view videos of the flight data in motion.
