Biome Field

A living data-field composed by the planet itself. The last day of global earthquakes — fetched live from the USGS the moment you begin — is grown into a breathing shell of light around a dark Earth and sounded as a slow, inharmonic drone. It looks and sounds different right now than it did an hour ago, because Earth's data changed.

Use headphones. Drag to orbit the planet; hover to “listen in” on a region and draw the shimmer toward it. Live data from the USGS; if the network is blocked it plays a bundled snapshot so the field is always alive.
