Uncover the ways Richard Vijgen (the company) bills you and cancel your Architecture of Radio subscription.
A few things to note and do before cancelling:
1. The Architecture of Radio is a data visualization, based on global open datasets of cell tower, Wi-Fi and satellite locations.
2. The app is based on real world data and gives you a pretty good idea of the density of digital signals around you, but it won’t tell you where to move the couch to get a better WIFI signal.
3. It shows the cell towers, GPS satellites and Wi-Fi routers around you that allow us to live our digital lives.
4. Every time we use our phones, tablets or laptops we are entering an invisible world of wireless digital signals.
5. The Architecture of Radio is a 360 degree data visualization of what this world might look like.
6. The dataset includes almost 7 million cell towers, 19 million Wi-Fi routers and hundreds of satellites.
7. The waves that we use for our cell phones and Wi-Fi are way outside the spectrum of visible light.
8. Based on your GPS location the app shows a 360 degree visualization of signals around you.
9. Out of curiosity! We are increasingly dependent on a global ecosystem of digital signals.
10. We can see the roads we use to travel, the buildings we live in, but not the infrastructure that is changing the world.
11. It’s purpose is to inspire, to see the world through a different lens.
12. The Architecture of Radio is an impression of the infosphere, a way of seeing it.
13. In order to “see” radio, it has to be interpreted or translated into an image that we can see.
14. It is a world that we cannot see but that is literally all around us.
