We address the question: How should N n-dimensional subspaces of m-dimensional Euclidean space be arranged so that they are as far apart as possible? The results of extensive computations for modest values of N; n; m are described, as well as a reformulation of the problem that was suggested by these computations. The reformulation gives a way to describe n- dimensional subspaces of m-space as points on a sphere in dimension (m \Gamma 1)(m+2), which provides a (usually) lowerdimensional representation than the Pl ucker embedding, and leads to a proof that many of the new packings are optimal. The results have applications to the graphical display of multidimensional data via Asimov's grand tour method.
