Scott Hessels and Gabriel Dunne are the creators behind art project Celestial Mechanics, a brilliant experiment plotting FAA data, parsing it using the Processing programming environment, then compositing the resulting frames with Adobe After Effects and/or Maya. Resulting are beautiful and flowing animations displaying the flight patterns of commercial aircraft throughout the United States as flight upon flight arrives and departs America’s airports. Celestial Mechanics have been on display at many trade shows and conventions around the world, most recently at Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria.

Hi, I’m a professional pianist and I’ve built a stupid rule that allows me to take a 15 min break every 1 hour of practicing. Now, every break I’ve to accomplish some thing completely diverse, so mostly I go to Google and seek for your suggested last hour web site. It is fun to do something diverse and to discover about new things each and every day. BTW, now I’m playing. Vivaldi. Your website is fantastic, I wish I could stay longer, but I’ve to have back to play… Next time I’ll arrive to visit again.
