New York Talk Exchange

5
This project illustrates the global exchange of information in real time by visualizing volumes of AT&T long distance telephone and IP data flowing between New York and cities around the world. The New York Talk Exchange was a project by the Senseable City Lab at MIT for the MoMA. In an information age, telecommunications such as the internet and telephone bind people across space. This project was a way of revealing the relationships that New Yorkers have with the rest of the world.
