The project Spiritual Photographs -- Wireless Spectre makes use of long exposure photographic techniques to make the signals visible in this way. The [Newcastle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ten-toes) university student is incorporating these prototypes within a larger project called Digital Ethereal. Luis Hernan used a Kirlian Device, which turns the [invisible wireless signal strength](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrant-wifi-router) into colors. For example, blue represents the strongest signal strength where as red signifies the weakest signal strength. The illuminated WiFi takes the form of multi-hued light trails. The pictures show these trails in a variety of locations and lighting, from indoor staircases to outdoor entrance ways and down a range of corridors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Long Exposure Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to capture unique and visually striking images using long exposure techniques. - **Visible Wifi Signals:** Innovation opportunity to develop devices or applications that can visualize and interpret WiFi signals in a tangible and aesthetic way. - **Digital Ethereal:** Exploration of the digital world's impact on physical surroundings, paving the way for new artistic expressions and technological advancements. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Photography industry can leverage the trend of using long exposure techniques to create innovative and captivating visuals. - **Technology:** Opportunity for the technology industry to create devices or software that can visualize and interpret WiFi signals in a more accessible manner. - **Art:** Art industry can explore the combination of digital and physical worlds to create immersive and thought-provoking experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Illuminated Curtained Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible.md) - [Sculptural Wifi Routers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huawei-x3-pro-wifi.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Smokestack Factory-Inspired Routers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/complex-1.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Festive Light Painting Techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-painting-1.md) - [Shadow-Inspired Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightware-series.md) - [Interchangeable Cover Networking Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrant-wifi-router.md)
