Ulrich Formann: Slotmachine

Ulrich Formann is a Digital Arts graduate

Empty flights have no cargo nor passengers. They just fly to maintain exclusive take-off and landing rights that are awarded to airlines. If the airlines do not keep their slots, they lose them. To prevent the competition from getting these slots, flights simply depart empty. This leads to thousands of ghost flights and the emissions they cause.

Slotmachine constantly retrieves departure data from European airports and compares it with radar data of flights that have actually taken off. This is possible as airplanes constantly send their position to avoid collisions. If a ghost flight takes off, it is displayed by Slotmachine.
