A real-time generative work about a crowded sky. Airliners cross overhead and leave contrails that loop, drift and slowly dissolve into the clouds. Nothing is animated by hand and nothing repeats. Every flight path is computed live in the browser.
The piece has two views of the same traffic. Sky is the view from the ground, looking up through the haze. Radar is the view from above: planes reduced to silhouettes on a flat field, more of them than anyone could track.
Live generative work, browser-based (Three.js / WebGL), duration infinite.
