LONG EXPOSURES OF WIFI SIGNALS

LONG EXPOSURES OF WIFI SIGNALS CAPTURE THE GHOSTLY FORMS OF THE WIRELESS WORLD

Using long exposure photography to bring WiFi signals to life, Newcastle University student Luis Hernan, created a series of images featuring voluminous, glowing rainbowed forms, floating in mid-air. The project titled "Spirit Photographs—Wireless Spectre", is a performative and photographic exploration of Hertzian Space. The pictures result from describing the space through a performance with the Kirlian Device, which transforms signal strength in light colour (reds for high intensity, blues for low intensity).
