What Wi-Fi Looks Like

Wi-Fi is a popular technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data or connect to the internet wirelessly using radio waves. It's all around us, quietly and invisibly powering our access to the world's information. But few of us have a sense of what wi-fi actually is, let alone what it would look like if we could see it.

Artist Nickolay Lamm decided to shed some light on the subject. He created visualizations that imagine the size, shape, and color of wi-fi signals were they visible to the human eye.
