The work transcodes the network activity of cellular phones, computers, and other devices in its proximity into light flowing in translucent acrylic tubes. The tube structure has been shaped according to the critical angle of “total reflection”. This phenomenon is what makes the water-to-air surface in a fish-tank look like a perfectly silvered mirror when viewed from below the water level, and it is also exploited by optical fibers used in telecommunication cables.
