FLIGHT PATTERNS
An installation that represents air traffic patterns
—
Flight Patterns is an installation that visualizes the underlaying patterns that are continuously made by airplanes on their route to and from an airport. A small robot draws a dot representing each airplane near a certain airport on paper. It repeats this action every few minutes. After a while the (flight-)patterns start to form. The medium of paper and usage of dots per airplane makes the whole concept of "escapism” of travel appear like being stuck in a pattern again. People might feel like they are escaping from their every day life by going on a holiday, but in reality they are getting stuck in new another pattern.
