My previous what is a line post was looking at contrails and perhaps the idea of developing my own contrails. However after talking to a few friends on the course we came to a better idea of looking at the actual frame i was working with. For example I had create some photoshop images from photos i had taken looking straight up. The framing of them was quite interesting, looking at how the lines of the planes moved across the canvas.
I had recently got hold of the book 'Data Flow' which is full of inspiring and creative ways to represent data visually. Many of the ideas used lines to connect data together. It was fun to look at and work out what the designer had done, what the data was and how it all worked together. Some of them are virtually impossible to understand as the designer had made it so abstract.
I decided to change my approach and came up with the idea of 'recording data within a frame'.
This would involve going out 'into the field' and collecting the data myself.
So on a clear day with a lovely clear sky; a Wednesday i believe, i headed off to Hyde Park with my camera and a tripod. between the hours of 10am and 2pm i took photographs of the aeroplanes as they flew overhead on their way to Leeds airport.
Now i need to do something with the data i have collected...
