Das kabellose Internet ist ja mittlerweile allen bekannt und viele besitzen selbst eines von den WiFi Netzen. Aber habt ihr euch schonmal gefragt, wie das ganze ausschauen würde wenn man die WiFi´s sichtbar machen könnt? Ich schon ;) Hier gibt es mal ein interessantes Projekt aus Oslo.

The measuring rod is inspired by the poles land surveyors use to map and describe the physical landscape. Similarly, our equipment allows us to reveal and represent topographies of wireless networks. The measuring rod uses a typical mobile WiFi antenna to measure reception, and draw out 4 metre tall graphs of light.

The size of the measuring rod and the light paintings it creates emphasises the architectural scale at which WiFi operates, and situates the networks in the physical environments that they are a part of. The light of the measuring rod pulses as it is being moved, which creates dashed lines rather than solid ones. This creates a semi-transparent texture that allows the visualisation to appear within the physical setting without covering it.
