Musical subway


Conductor: www.mta.me from Alexander Chen on Vimeo.

Welcome to this week's edition of Animated Map Thursday.  This is an astoundingly beautiful art project by Alexander Chen.  He used the style of Massimo Vignelli's iconic 1972 diagram-map of New York's subway system and animated it, making the intersections of subway lines play like a plucked string instrument when the trains crossed paths. This is just genius.

Remember, if you have any submissions for Animated Map Thursdays please let me know.
