MollyeNet is a WiFi network that occupies space as an artwork in an art museum. Visitors attempting to access WiFi on their phones see this network alongside other WiFi networks in the museum. After viewing a “captive portal” web page explaining the project, they can browse as with any other WiFi network. MollyeNet operates by cannibalizing museum WiFi and thus cannot exist outside of a museum. MollyeNet does not interfere with the operation of a museum in any way. MollyeNet has exhibited at the Baltimore Museum of Art and the New York City Museum of Modern Art.
