Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

The project organizes its work around three forms of evidence: intended journeys from timetables, smoothed trajectories from broadcast positions, and aggregate particles derived from flow and speed. The homepage lists four place-specific studies, including a Switzerland work combining rail, terrain, Takt, air, and road, plus a New York comparison of local and express movement. Its stated method is deliberately bounded: each visualization depends on a particular place, source, and visual claim.
