LIght Painting: Mapping Wi-Fi Strength Through Photography

Poking around the internet for infographics last night, I found this interesting video documenting a photography project which uses long-exposure photography, a wi-fi radio and a life-size meter created by the artists to map invisible wi-fi signals onto real landscapes. The end product is a set of photos which show a cross-section of the invisible field of signals. It's not quite graphic design, but I appreciated the out-of-the-box thinking in how the artists decided to show the information. The photos give a sense of the technology and data that surrounds us today, even if we can't readily perceive it with our five senses.
