Here fry has created a program using Java and Perl to map out activity in his Media Lab for a two week period. The above is just a snap shot , the whole peice is 72 x 24 inches, where times are displayed across the top and dates down the side. He mapped the activity using a video camera, where activity was minimal thin lines occur, where activity is maximized thick lines occur. It is a very effective way of emphaising the business of the lab at certain times and works well with the shear whiteness of the background.
