Invisible fields
Abstract
“Invisible fields” is about the effect that electromagnetic fields have on organic matter. The danger of electromagnetic-fields on the human body is an issue that has been the concern of many people since more and more radio-frequencies are used for communication and more and more electronic devices surround us. Electromagnetic-field are everywhere, but for most people they are forever unnoticed. In “invisible fields”, I want to make visible, that they have an effect on organic matter. For this I want to use E. Gracilis. Studies suggest, that when surrounded by electromagnetic waves, E. gracilis changes the movement behaviour. Of course this is not proof of the effect on the human body and such conclusions are not my goal in this work, I merely want to draw attention to this conversation and to our excessive use of technology, in which we lack an awareness about the dangers it might have on us and on the world that surrounds us.

The installation could function as follows: An inductor microphones picks up electromagnetic frequencies around an electronic device. This signal is made audible in a audio interface and is played out through a speaker The audio signal triggers the electromagnetic field around E. Gracilis (possibly by an Arduino) The camera that is attached to the microscope transmits the image to a screen and the change in movement of E. Gracilis can be observed in real time
Open questions
I haven’t had the chance to test the movement-change of E. Gracilis, so I am not sure how exactly, if it even works, the movement looks. Of course this visible change of movement is key in this work, so it needs to be proven first, before I can move on with this idea. Another issue is the translation of the audio signal into the electromagnet field. How will the signal effect the field? How can I translate the informations?
