ROOFTOP JUNK


a mapping of the GSM(red),NMTM(yellow) mobile phone towers in the area. These towers are a part of the new infrastructure called SSC-sensor, software, connectivity, and shows how this structure build a new layer on top of the "traditional" infrastructure, WGE-water, gas, electricity, in the city. SSC is designed to excist in the background, blend in with other rooftop junk and its signal is only readable through another device, i.e the mobilephone. This means that its signals are meaningless without a way to ACCESS them, in this case the phone becomes the KEY or the CODE to understand the rooftop installations.
