Every day we reveal our lives through our data, to friends and foes alike. But our data isn’t just available from over sharing on social media, or creating account after account for online shopping. Our smartphones constantly leak data as they search for WiFi and Bluetooth connections and reveal past network connections, geolocation info, and even your name. This data can be collected when an internet provider decides to monitor or manipulate your activity, but also when individuals track and even trick your device into telling them more than it should.

The WiFi Whisperer is an art installation that was created into order to explore and expose this phenomenon.

Moderated by Gail Marie.
