PARANORMAL

Starting point of this work in progress is the term "normality", which is increasingly used by structurally right-wing groups for declaring extreme political ideas mainstream.

Following the instructions which I found either online or in literature, I am rebuilding several pseudo-scientific devices that are usually used for detecting or uncovering so called "paranormal activities". Most devices are easy to build, handy, suitable for all-day use when needed.

The project can be understood as an ironic commentary on the usurpation of a highly vague concept.

Field detector

This an electrostatic field detector (a.k.a as "V-Scope") that uses a common antenna to repond to ambient electrical fields.
