Visualization for the 2012 Visualizing Global Marathon, one-weekend data visualization competition that has gathered design and computer science students from 176 universities in the world. The project aims at visualizing a data set about the international network of airports and flights, and offers a new image of the planet: since nowadays almost all countries are easily and fast connected by airplanes, the increasing number of routes is creating a new kind of “proximity” between the areas of the world and changing our perception of what we can call, metaphorically speaking, our neughbourhood.
