Internetix
A micro-geolocation data artwork built from WiFi triangulation.
Internetix played with data and revealed obscure connections between delegates. It opened up dialogue around data usage, tracking, security and privacy through a public installation for South Africa's most important tech conference.
With permission, delegate movement around venues in Cape Town and Johannesburg was identified using WiFi triangulation, then cross-referenced with social accounts, job title, company, catering requirements and personal interests to build an ever-changing data and connection map.
Over two million data points were collected and later built into a personalised invitation generator, where each delegate received a poster of their movements from the previous year.
