GE Show: Points of Departure
GE presents fascinating challenges - with business units in so many industries, what do you feature? How do you show off the high-level thinking and innovation (often highly-techincal and difficult to understand), while reminding people that all these ideas come from real people?
The GE Show is one of the ways we make that connection. It employs an episodic format - four long-form "episodes" per season, each focusing on a problem that GE is trying to solve.
To bring awareness to use of General Electric's products at airports across the world, TBG created a visualization that uses the Google Maps API and the Flickr API to return geolocated images of 6000 of the world's most popular airports. I came up with the original creative idea, and then developed the JS, HTML and CSS. Boing Boing and Metafilter wrote about this project.
