This print shows how two artists turned flight paths into a starry pattern. Made in 2001, it’s a white-on-white map built from dots for airports and lines for routes. The artists used a pair of prints to show the same network in day and night colors. By stripping away places and borders, they let air travel create the landmarks instead. Look up the pair of artists who made it: Langlands and Bell.
