Aaron Koblin was part of the team that made that Radiohead-video-without-cameras and these are some amazing visualisations from US flights paths that he made. Check out the animation here.
Can we have that hanging on the wall please, with live updates, as a living painting?
In any case, another great Koblin example of technology meeting art. 

By the way: suggested by @bbhlabs, a rather inspiring bunch. Because yes, I got on Twitter (@leftrightcentre). When friends start sending you emails, saying “I wouldn’t have to email you this link, if you were on Twitter”, you know it’s beginning to make sense.
So far, so fun. I’m enjoying it and do think I’ll start finding it useful.
