Wi-Fi is invisible – yet full of information. Current research shows that radio signals can be used to detect movement, infer activities, or even measure breathing and heart rates. The exhibition opens up perspectives on the possibilities, opportunities, and risks of this technology and encourages visitors to actively engage with its ethical and societal implications.
The posters were designed by the University of Twente in the Netherlands and present scientific, ethical, and moral questions explored within the framework of a joint research project. Contributions from visitors – such as stickers, handwritten comments, or short statements – are incorporated directly into the scientific analysis conducted by Dr. Sage Cammers-Goodwin at the University of Twente.
