What Wi-Fi waves look like

Hypothetically, if we could see all the digital signals that surround us, what would they look like? If we could physically see the WiFi trail, what would it be? It is this question that photographer and artist Luis Hernan explores in his latest series of works titled Creative Exploration of Wireless Spectra.



Obsessed with the invisible infrastructure of the waves that hold our wireless world together, Louis decided to capture the electromagnetic wave landscape in a series of amazing color photographs. The pictures quickly gained popularity, which prompted the author to further research in this area.

Using a high shutter speed camera and RSSI sensors to visualize WiFi networks, he was able to create these vivid pictures. The result is a beautiful collection of surreal images, both active and static. People often abuse technology but don’t even think about its nature. But thanks to Luis Hernan, you can now imagine what Wi-Fi looks like in your home.

This project aims to demonstrate the nature of electromagnetic wave space and prove that high technology can be visualized. Just because the human eye can’t see something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. And the author of these images clearly demonstrated this, making wi-fi waves temporarily available for perception.

The Digital Ethereal project is a progressive creative research project exploring the materiality of wireless protocols. As part of this work, these impressive photos were taken.
