Urban Wi-Fi Signals Visualized in Beautiful Colors

Wi-Fi channels may not be visible to the human eye, but they're all around us. In order to visually depict their ubiquity, Nickolay Lamm uses a multitude of colors to show the unique wavelengths that make up Wi-Fi signals and imagines what freeze frames of Wi-Fi would look like in space.

The Wi-Fi signal is transmitted in waves that have a particular heights and distances between each other, and which travel at certain speeds. The waves have a unique transmission band enabling them to travel uninterrupted by other signals. Lamm's images illustrate this idea and use Washington, D.C. as a backdrop for the visualization.
