This is a fun project I discovered, that shows realtime ferry positions (and past trips) in a number of cities around the world using open-source transport data — including Sydney, Auckland, Stockholm, New York Harbor, and San Francisco Bay.
The website translates the movement of ferries into live, generative soundscapes. No two listens are the same since it's driven by whatever the ferries are actually doing right now.
Be sure to turn the sound on. Enjoy! 🎧
