bergen flaneur
experimental cartography using Openstreetmap data.
Influenced by the concept of the Flaneur, someone who wanders a city (in this case, Bergen in Norway) at random, deciding on their next move using chance, or without a specific destination in mind.
A connected network is created from OpenStreetMap data, and hundreds of thousands of random journeys are made through the network by software agents following very simple rules:-
- move to a neighbouring node
- don't backtrack
- stop at a dead-end
- stop if you've visited a node for a second time
- repeat
The number of times each route is covered is shown using colour; red are the roads most travelled, blue the least travelled.
Originally I thought this might show up major arteries, but it doesn't seem to work that way...
