Activating Public WiFi

This ongoing project investigates the landscape of public WiFi in contemporary New York through a focus on the streetside LinkNYC kiosks. Through analytical mapping and targeted ethnographies, I developed a 3D web experience that critiques and explains conditions at four specific sites. Using these locations as a guide, the website proposes localized opportunities, urban interventions, and programmatic changes that can happen at public WiFi locations city-wide.

The interactive website is live online in the hopes that it can spark conversation around the potential in public WiFi.
