Visualizing the Wi-Fi landscape

Lpainting
Interesting experiment-turned-film called Immaterials: Light-painting Wi-Fi illustrating the ubiquity of WiFi networks in the college town of Grünerløkka in Norway.
The strength, consistency and reach of the network says something about the built environment where it is set up, as well as reflecting the size and status of the host. Small, domestic networks in old apartment buildings flow into the streets in different ways than the networks of large institutions. Dense residential areas have more, but shorter range networks than parks and campuses.
