Wireless is one of the most ubiquitous means of digital connectivity, shaping our experience of networks and the internet. But far from being a neutral medium, these networks often betray their users. This can happen when an internet provider decides to monitor or manipulate your data, but also when someone nearby listens in on your activity, or even tricks your device into telling them more than it should. 

The WiFi Whisperer is an art installation that explores the social nature of the WiFi protocol, introducing some important technical concepts for understanding WiFi and networks, and creatively interprets data from the air.
