It is a visualization of data from tweeter. Jer Thorp collected data from tweeter API about locations of people who post tweeter and estimated their flight information. Finally, he visualized them and created this beautiful representation of people's flight information. He created this work firstly for predicting epidemics. But then as he stated on his website, he found this video "sure does look cool" and could be "the base for some more interesting work"

From my point of view, his unexpected result with a beautiful and entertaining video implies how to be playful in the artwork. The playful video product should be something innovative and unexpected. Also, the work should be somehow beautiful. At least, the work itself should not be ugly for entertainment. No one before has ever expected to use tweeter information to present flight information. In addition, the beautiful light effects and the world map and animation also make the data visualization more attractive. If he had represented the data by using excel form, no one would find the data representation entertaining.
