ad-hoc networking as community art
I'm going to try to persuade Tate Modern to put an open wireless hub on the top of their chimney. It's the highest thing around here, and there's lots of people in the local community who would benefit.
I'm thinking of tying it into an art project (therefore easier to get funding) - it would be easy to draw diagrams with data from the proxy, to show activity and virtual reach.
However, what would be really nice is to take the current lighting (The Swiss Light), and create a response to the Hayward Gallery's Neon Tower installation, designed by Philip Vaughan and Roger Dainton. It reacts to the wind direction and speed to create changes in frequency and colours of the lights.

A version of this, that responds to the wireless smog in its physical location, would be a great way of illustrating and archiving the importance of wireless networking. Just got to persuade the Swiss now. Heh.
