ELEN

ELEN is a speculative photographic device that visualizes wireless network activity as spectral forms. Instead of capturing traditional photographs, it reveals invisible digital presences by detecting nearby Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals and translating them into ghost-like entities overlaid on a live camera feed. Signal strength affects scale, transmission patterns influence movement, and temporal fluctuations generate instability. Through physical exploration and movement, users navigate an electromagnetic landscape where invisible infrastructures become perceptible, reframing wireless data as a form of contemporary haunting.
