So after finishing up his studies in architecture, computer science, and design, Hernan decided to research these invisible signals through a PhD at Newcastle University.

"I was very curious about this idea of the invisible signals that surround us all the time so I wanted to explore that," Hernan told Business Insider. "I was really interested in how they would look if we were able to see them."

Hernan set up a system that turned the wireless signals around him into colorful, ghostlike images using long-exposure photography, allowing people to see the strength of the signals around them. The results are documented in his project Digital Ethereal.
