Hertzian Journey 01 is the first in a series of visual explorations mapping the trajectories of radio waves. This generative film traces the movement of signals between more than a hundred antennas scattered across various landscapes in the canton of Bern (Switzerland), offering virtual journeys and making normally invisible flows perceptible. These digitally reconstructed fragments are created from topographic data retrieved online and then reworked by the artists.

The antennas emerge from fragmented islands, representing their actual location and immediate surroundings. Some stand atop mountain peaks, others are attached to urban infrastructure, while some attempt to blend into rural landscapes. As the film moves through these points of connection, it questions how these technical infrastructures integrate into the territory and contribute to its transformation. 

This project introduces a new form of tourism, centered on communication infrastructures. The antenna pylons become landmarks, shedding light on a part of the territory that is often overlooked.

The camera simulates the rapid transmission of radio waves, moving at high speed from one antenna to another before slowing down upon approach. As it nears each island, its polygons gradually recompose, further emphasizing the tension between the acceleration of digital exchanges and human perception of time and space. The sequence of trajectories is randomly generated, producing a continuous drift through the network.

In the background, colors gradually shift throughout the day, reflecting the changing hues of the sky. This transformation, generated by the software, anchors the film in a perpetually evolving temporality.
