cell phone disco
4 August 2006

an installation made out of flashing cells that is capable of visually revealing the electromagnetic waves of mobile phones. the lights are triggered by sensors that detect electromagnetic radiation of active mobile phones in a range of approximately 1 meter. this way, a sort of shadow or aura appears around the phone conversations, revealing a part of it's invisible body. other, less sensitive, sensors act as an inkless marker. the LEDs get activated only by an extreme proximity of the electromagnetic source. moving the phone close to the cells therefore leaves a trace of light, an electromagnetic drawing.
