FREQUENCY HOPPING FANTASY, Tribute to Hedy Lamarr

The story of the Hollywood star Hedy Lamarr is well known. In 1942 she obtained the US Patent 2,292,387 together with George Antheil for a wireless “Secret Communication System“ called Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum – FHSS.
When she finally received the “Frontier Foundation Pioneer Award“ in 1997 for this invention, she remarked:
“It’s about time“.
Taken aback by this fact I realised that it was about time for me to create this object “Frequency Hopping Fantasy“ with artistic freedom to pay tribute to Hedy Lamarr, bearing in mind the Foundation’s objective: “The protection of civil liberties, such as privacy and freedom of expression, as new communications technologies emerge”.
