A New York Museum of Modern Art exhibition illustrating the results of an MIT project on patterns of global phone calls shows New York’s telephone and Internet links to other cities across the planet and how those connections change over time.

From Manhattan, the most-called city is London, representing about 8 percent of all calls overseas. Half of all calls from Manhattan are to Canada, Great Britain, the Dominican Republic, Germany and Japan.
