The NYC subway system as a string instrument

  • This is really intense! I salute the mind level that conceives such a concept (and comes up with a cool visualization).

  • In case you haven't discovered it - you can click-and-drag your mouse across the lines to make sounds in addition to waiting for the lines to 'pluck' themselves

  • This is very cool. Here's our way of visualizing buses driving around in a novel way: http://labs.transloc.com/streetview/

  • Loading Sound is always at 0% for me.

  • It's wonderful, if a little odd, to think of the NYC subway as a plucked guitar, versus the familiar steel-on-steel "ka-chunk, ka-chunk" as the trains rumble on the (unwelded) tracks.

  • They should crash and shatter, like lightcycles.

  • This is amazing. Would you consider offering a tutorial to implement alternate systems(other cities)?

  • This is pretty creative - does anyone have suggestions on how I can convert this into a screensaver?

  • Open up a few tabs for a more fun and chaotic track!

    Though I am having some syncing issues when one of the tabs is active.

  • Interesting, it's creative and artistic engineering.
