Check out what radio frequencies would look like if you could actually see them

With Soundcloud’s current dominance, we’re more aware than ever of what waveforms look like (and, of course, where the drop is) – but what about radio frequencies? 

Well, wonder no more: artist Jean-Pierre Aubé‘s Electrosmog project aims to visualise the radio frequency spectrum, using a radio, antenna and software to find ambient frequency activity in the Montreal skyline. As he sweeps the spectrum, the software captures one shot every tenth of a second, charting the electromagnetic activity in the sky. There’s a vaguely Tommyknockers vibe to the whole thing, but it’s pretty cool – check out the video above [via Beatportal].
