I designed the visuals.

The WiFi Angels smartphone app allows you to listen to the WiFi networks in your environment. Every network is translated in a singing angel. Together they create a choir. 

While in old nature people used to build shelters to protect themselves from natural forces like wind and rain, today some people intuitively start to protect themselves from nextnatural forces, like electromagnetic radiation caused by WiFi signals. Are there health risks related to WiFi radiation? The World Health Organisation has examined the topic and concluded “current evidence does not confirm the existence of any health consequences from exposure to low-level electromagnetic fields. However, some gaps in knowledge about biological effects exist and need further research”. Visit their website for more info.

Imagine you could listen to WiFi networks, a special sense to hear WiFi signals. As you move around the city passing different networks, the soundscape changes. Recurring networks would become familiar refrains, as do the melodies created by home and work routers. You would maybe end looking for isolated areas to enjoy the silence of a location without WiFi connections, or you would gather in crowded places to listen to wireless signals concerts. How do you imagine the sound generated by WiFi networks? A continuous stream of pips and beeps, whistles and crackles, or – like us – a celestial choir?

Every area has its own soundscape. 

Streets, parks, subways, hotels, highways and beaches all sound different.
