Immaterials: Light painting WiFi

by Timo

This project explores the invisible terrain of WiFi networks in urban spaces by light painting signal strength in long-exposure photographs. A four-metre long measuring rod with 80 points of light reveals cross-sections through WiFi networks using a photographic technique called light-painting.

Wireless in the world 2

by Timo

As a follow up to the original Wireless in the World experiment http://vimeo.com/3684601 this film was made for the HABITAR exhibition at Laboral: "This new urban landscape is no longer predicated solely on architecture and urbanism. These disciplines now embrace emerging methodologies that bend the physical with new measures, representations and maps of urban dynamics such as traffic or mobile phone flows. Representations of usage patterns and mapping the life of the city amplify our collective awareness of the urban environment as a living organism. These soft and invisible architectures fashion sentient and reactive environments." from: http://www.laboralcentrodearte.org/en/exposiciones/habitar

Immaterials: the ghost in the field

by Timo

This video is about exploring the spatial qualities of RFID, visualised through an RFID probe, long exposure photography and animation. It features Timo Arnall of the Touch project and Jack Schulze of BERG.
