Pretty Fly For A Wifi
Pretty Fly For A Wifi is an overview of different self-made WIFI antennas. It is a combination of pots and pans, dishes and cans through which people from around the world give shape to their collective dream of making an alternative internet. Each of these objects tells part of the story of individuals and groups, who each in their own way try to reconfigure the internet’s infrastructure to achieve this goal. For this project I built, tested and documented these antennas and in the process revisited their histories, origins and uses.
