Traject Visualizations
Thinking about travel time as a more effective indication of distance, the traject visualizations show the effects of highway congestion on travel time.
The project consists of three interactive animations. In the first animation distances on highway trajects have been replaced by travel times during all working days of one week. A second animation shows an overlap of travel times during Monday and Friday, while in the last one total travel times between the cities have been represented (during the mentioned period).
The data used have been provided by the client and consist of average travel times during 2005.
My activities consisted on concept development and realization.

Digital Objects
For the thematic project "Digital Objects" during the study MA Media Design at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam, I have been experimenting on different ways to apply elasticity to circles moving on a plane. The result is a set of interactive animations built on Actionscript.

Programming "Logo" drawings
These drawings are the result of experimenting with the possibilities of "Logo", a programming language for kids. Berkeley Logo has been used.
