The collaboration of both arts
• Walking in the cities and collecting Wi-Fi data
by my laptop.
• Walking is the seeing of the body and
collecting is the seeing of the laptop.
• Wi-Fi data are generated to web colour which
is recognisable for the mankind and the
computers.

7. The unit of landscapes
Every Wi-Fi access point has an identifier code which is a 12-digit code.
The code was separated as 7 sets of 6-digital code of web colour.
Access points are converted to house-like icons. Solid wall is encrypted
and dotted wall is not. The translated colours are windows.

8. Time and Space
The order is arranged by time when I walked and collected.
The space is composed of routes not geographical locations.
