Designers Visualize Wi-Fi Networks With Light Painting

Norwegian designers Timo Armall, Jørn Knutsen, and Einar Sneve Martinussen recently came up with a cool way to visually represent the invisible Wi-Fi networks that blanket our urban spaces. After constructing a Wi-Fi measuring rod capable of displaying signal strength as bars of light, the trio set about photographing it throughout various neighborhoods in Oslo. Measuring four meters in length, the rod also contains 80 LED bulbs, which pulsate with varying levels of intensity, depending on the strength of a surrounding Wi-Fi network. Check out the stunning results in the video below, or read more about the project here.
