Internet-Metrik: Biophily*Warp Map
2002
Thomas Feuerstein (AT)
Circulating among five servers located in Los Angeles,
Windhoek, Dar es Salaam, Mumbai (Bombay) and Bishkek
is a ping signal that, depending on the extent and state of
the respective networks and lines connecting them,
requires different lengths of time to travel the respective
distances. The measured time intervals that the signal
needs to get from one server to the next are correlated
with the actual geographical distances and transferred by
a Java applet onto a world map. The result is a real-time
metric distortion of the map, which is updated after every
cycle of the ping signal.
Programming: Peter Chiocetti, Marcus Linder, Harald Milchrahm
