Mapa mostra a conexão de Nova York com outras cidades do mundo. A pergunta que se coloca é: como NY se conecta com outras cidades e quais cidades ela tem maior troca de informação. Isso nos leva a ver como as fronteiras são fluidas e como uma cidade pode estar, informacionalmente, mais próxima de uma outra, mesmo a kilômetros de distância e como ela pode estar afastada de uma outra a poucos kilômetros de distânacia (via information aesthetics). O mapa oferece:
"globe encounters visualizes in real time the volumes of Internet data flowing between New York & other cities around the world. the size of the glow on a particular city location corresponds to the relative amount of IP traffic.
pulse of the planet illustrates the volume of international calls between New York City & 255 countries over the 24 hours in a day. areas of the world receiving & making fewer phone calls shrink while areas experiencing a greater amount of voice call activity expand.
the world inside new york shows how different neighborhoods reach out to the rest of the world via the AT&T telephone network. the widths of the color bars represent the proportion of world regions in contact with each neighborhood."
