LED Wand + RFID Waves = Beautiful

2:40PM October 17, 2009 | Rosa Golijan

Sometimes it’s the unseen that’s the most terrifying. In the case of RFID we think there’s plenty to dread, but never actually looked at those scary, scary waves. Thankfully someone at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design did.

Jack Schulze and Timo Arnall made this stunning video by using a specially-made LED wand, long-exposure photography, some animation, and a metric ton of patience. I, on the other hand, will be using the next few moments, my eyes, and an ounce or two of amazement to appreciate the supposedly paranoia-inducing beauty of RFID. [PopSci]

Is it just me…. or does that look like an extremely small appendage an 8 year old has drawn?

@moggyx In the thumbnail sure I guess.
The symbol they are proposing is actually quite cool.
