The music-streaming service Spotify unveiled an online map called “Serendipity” on Thursday that shows when people in different cities are listening to the same song at the exact same time — or at least within a tenth of a second of each other — regardless of the city, timezone or hemisphere.
The project, based on real-time data, was created by interactive artist Kyle McDonald, the company’s first media artist in residence.
