Shanghai Metro Flow Till Nagel & Benedikt Gross

With Shanghai Metro Flow we present an artistic visualization exhibit providing three plus one perspectives into the complex system of a metropolitan subway network. It consists of an animation, and an accompanying infographic poster. The animation is composed of three visualization scenes: i) introductory scene with overview and detail, ii) transitioning between geographic, schematic and linear views, and iii) an animated small multiple view. The static poster shows details on the subway lines. Each visualization combines established techniques with an highly aesthetic form in order to attract people to observe and dwell on different aspects of urban mobility, and reflect on their individual perception of our environment.
