Phantom Terrains is still one of the most fascinating projects I’ve stumbled upon, while casually researching the sound synthesis. Even with no apparent practical use - the idea of being able to actually hear the flows and currents of a constant data transfer around us mesmerizes me to no end.
Quoting their website:
“Streams of wireless data surge from internet exchanges and cellphone relays, flowing from routers to our devices and back again. This saturation of data has become a ubiquitous part of modern life, yet it is completely invisible to us. What would it mean to develop an additional sense which makes us continuously attuned to the invisible data topographies that pervade the city streets?“
