‘The wind map is a living portrait of of the wind currents over the U.S.’

Wonderfully designed by Fernanda Viegas and Martin Wattenberg, hypnotic to watch, and also contains an animated history database of memorable/eventful wind patterns and events.

A screensaver would be sweet…kthxbi

Was looking for something appropriate to be Tumblr post number 600. This is just the ticket.

Federico Galvan is the designer behind this map (which also includes Falmouth!), which was part of a project he describes as follows:

in the world that starts with this letter, say which languages are spoken in these places, say where are you from and
which is your language. It was a research project around the concept of the TRAVELLING.
