Broadway Data Boogie Woogie
Using Near Real-Time Traffic Speeds

ABOUT:
We have reimagined Piet Mondrian’s Broadway Boogie Woogie as a traffic data visualization,
reinvigorating the century-old abstract art tradition for a 21st century context.
The NYC Open Data
web platform hosts many datasets related to mobility, the most intriguing of which is the DOT’s
real-time traffic speed dataset. We humbly recognize that the DOT has already created a much more useful and accurate
visualization of traffic speeds for specific streets, which can be found at the following location: NYC TMC. Building on the work created by NYC TMC and the DOT, we’ve given ourselves a much simpler goal under the protections of artististic expression to create a dynamic, two-dimensional update to Broadway Boogie Woogie.
This dataset is updated every half hour, so the image will change in kind.
