Wireless Visualized Across the Urban Landscape

We caught this great video and would like to share it. It’s an awesome visualization of the space taken up by our mobile devices. From RFID, to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, we see how they integrate and overlay across our urban landscape. This project was produced by Timo Arnall, who is also known for other visualizations. Take a look.

[Hat Tip to Infosthetics]

“Utopian and radical architects in the 1960s predicted that cities in the future would not only be made of brick and mortar, but also defined by bits and flows of information. The urban dweller would become a nomad who inhabits a space in constant flux, mutating in real time. Their vision has taken on new meaning in an age when information networks rule over many of the city’s functions, and define our experiences as much as the physical infrastructures, while mobile technologies transform our sense of time and of space.”
