Los Angeles artist Kyle McDonald created the Apocalypse Early Warning System, a live jet-tracking project that maps private and charter aircraft and assigns an “emergency level” by comparing current jet activity to historical norms. Using radio-based flight data and AI-assisted coding, the project explores who gets information, who controls it, and why elites might know first, while stopping short of predicting catastrophe. McDonald funds his practice through consulting and exhibitions, and monetizes a small alert service with thousands of subscribers as a conceptual art intervention.
Los Angeles artist Kyle McDonald has built an “Apocalypse Early Warning System” that tracks publicly available private and charter jet data to gauge surges in air traffic. The system rates activity on a 1–5 scale and can alert followers if a spike suggests the ultra-rich are fleeing cities, a concept meant to satirize and critique wealth disparities and surveillance culture, not to predict literal doomsday. Washington Post context notes that while some billionaires prep for crises, the tracker signals billionaire panic and invites broader discussion about accountability and action rather than an imminent apocalypse.
