What I find interesting about both of these projects, is that the information is getting visual. You can not only get the radio waves and listen to them (like with the antenna we're now supposed to do), but also see the visual information they include.

I have been thinking of what I've ever done with electromagnetics, but the furthest I came were the electives hardware hacking and kinect hacking. Oops.

Patterns radiowaves

Patterns radiowaves 2

I didn't find much different things than the others from the class - some encoded signs from probably the fireworkers or the ambulance, radiosignals and some voices in the distance. But actually, the things I hear don't really matter. I would like to have these waves made visual in some sort of way that you can use them; use all of the information you're getting in. To make something from it; the form of the waves, the image, the colours they get with Gqrx.

How to use the pattern of the radiowaves without 'producing a snapshot'? In this case, it should be interactive. The image down here made me think of a light installation which reacts on the waves surrounding it.

I like the idea of raising knowledge about the radiowaves who're always around us. Like Richard Vijgen said: "If the radiowaves] are hitting our bodies all the time, people deserve to know." The form of Architecture of Radio is more attractive to me than a light installation - the colours of the radiosignals in Gqrx could create a psychedelic landscape.
