We are radiotropes. Just as other lifeforms orientate themselves in response to the sun's radiation, many contemporary human behaviours are shaped by electromagnetic landscapes and signal topographies. We prepare for the quiet zone of the subway and notice how data speeds vary as we move between networks and across geographies. Being Radiotropic is a series of eccentric wireless routers that explore this sensitivity and that asks how we might otherwise design our wireless infrastructures. Each router provides an open wireless network that misbehaves and functions in unexpected and eccentric ways. Could our radiotropism be leveraged to attune us to ways of other lifeforms and planetary forces?

我们是辐射性动物。就像其他生命体对太阳辐射的反应一样，许多当代人类的行为都是由电磁景观和信号地形塑造的。我们为地铁的安静区域做准备，并注意到当我们在网络和跨地域之间移动时，数据速度是如何变化的。作品通过一系列古怪的无线路由器，来探索这种对信号和数据的敏感性，并询问我们如何设计我们的无线基础设施。每个路由器都提供了一个开放的无线网络，它的行为和功能都是出乎意料和古怪的。我们是否会通过这种“辐射倾向性”来和其他生命形式和行星力量之间的进行调和？
