LANscapes

LANscapes is an experiment in creating environmental sculpture which also function as network infrastructure. We will study landscapes and their features to understand how we can build network system components for moving messages from point A to point B, namely antennas, wave guides, and transmission lines which become a part of the natural landscape, as opposed to simply using it as a backdrop. Questions we will ask include: How can technology adapt to a given environment, and not the other way around? Specifically, in the realm of communications infrastructure, how do we design with intention and in partnership with nature?
