"several thousand cars driving around Tokyo continuously transmit information about their positions, calculated from the GPS signals they receive every 30 seconds. this location data was gathered and used to create visual representations of traffoc volumes and traffic flows"

"the cars are seen to be circulating, radiating out from the central area nar the Imperial Palace just like red blod cells travelling around the body through a network of blood vessel centred on the heart"
