GLOWLAB has a nice article up right now about a sound emitting wifi scanner, creating a sonic memory / new experience of your daily routes. Visualizing, through sound, the unseen communication structures all around us.
The Warbike converts the experience of wardriving into a deeper, more personal experience. The bike brings the participant closer to the street and the spaces that the networks inhabit, highlighting the psychogeographical experience that may be lost in a traditional wardrive, isolated from the environment, in a car. The knowledge of network presence, and the knowledge of open networks, is not quite as powerful as being able to hear and feel the networks flowing through the space that we inhabit. The ride on the Warbike is a visceral experience, communicating the invisible communications activity, something that we are used to processing intellectually. You’re invited to experience it for yourself when the Warbike is shown at Interaccess (link / map) in Toronto in summer 2007.
