#42Cool project. I was going to say, the end resulting light should be a pretty saturated spectrum, given that many RF sources just keep pumping out waves, and the those waves propagating and bouncing around. I think one fun application would be a light which represents your wi-fi strength around the house. Obviously in a smaller apartment that's really not a problem, but in larger houses it would be fun to see. Another…
Yes, in the parisian apt. where I filmed the RF landscape is wild
But tuning in to the specific wifi channel you router use you could even use this piece as a signal strenght plotter!

#44I just watched all the other videos of their pieces, and all of them are absolutely amazing conceptual explorations of our relationship with technology. Really amazing stuff

#45you have everything right in front of your eyes, next if you add a transformer which convers these light signals into what they actually are then Voilà, you can see what's travelling in the air (Photos, conversations, music)

Except it’s encrypted with TLS

The bit in the phone project where he cuts out the poem authors intro seems a bit scummy though, all that work he's making uncredited... then he finishes the video by showing him signing the piece.
I guess it's a good commentary on how tech people value other peoples work.

#49Incredibly cool. I was really hoping to see the more ‘edge’ cases - take the light out to the middle of nowhere, walk towards it and away from it with just your phone or a Bluetooth speaker, see it react to your approach. The bit at the end about it shifting over the course of the day is cool, but I wish the effect was more visually apparent - it mostly just looked like random noise the whole time to me.
I wanted to take it war driving around paris and the countryside, maybe i'll make a separate short video for that

#50Sawing the first shot, I thought the LED candle on the coffee table was the device. That would have also been cool, having flickering affected not by wind, as with real candles, but by radio waves.
