Trevor Paglen is an artist and geographer based in Berkeley, California. His project CIA Rendition Flights 2001-2006 is composed from flight data provided by the Federal Aviation Administration and Eurocontrol. The map is a visualization of the movements of aircraft owned or operated by known CIA front companies. The project illustrates some of the more obscure relationships that have been forged between the United States and other countries over the course of the war on terror.
