Wi-Fi Hog
Projeto que permite ter acesso a redes wi-fi será apresentado no “Design and the Elastic Mind” no MoMa, agora em fevereiro. Já havia postado sobre o Wi-Fi Hog, de Jonah Brucker-Cohen, anteriormente. Atualizando…(via Rhizome)
“WiFi-Hog is a personal tool to enable both private interaction in public space as well as social obstruction and deconstruction of shared resources. This approach could shift the idea of a network from a shared experience to one of individual connections between people and their link to the Internet – ie. the dissolution of LANs. The project is based on a similar idea of how property was acquired before zoning laws and how land was a public resource that had to be regulated (…) due to people using it in ways that the public or government objected. My aim is to investigate how the same could be said about Wi-Fi networks, if they leak or pervade into public space they should be used in any way the person inhabiting that area wishes to use them.”
