EM Shelter Booth
Philip Hirschfeld 's EM Shelter Booth project will be presented on Sunday 19 and Monday 20, at the Tisch School of the Arts' (New York) Winter Show. The idea is to build a Faraday Cage that blocks EM radiation so cellphones, radios and other wireless objects become unusable inside the cage. This EM Shelter Booth could be put on streets corners to provide pedestrians with a rediation-free space, yet will not cut them off from air, light, noises and smells of the city. It will act as a way for people to see the urban environment in its true sense, without being bombarded by electromagnetic herzian environment. The project reminds me Rupert Griffith (UK)'s Telenono, an installation looking like a phone box and sealed off from all radiation (shown during the Futuresonic festival.) Once inside, none of your usual communication devices works. But this one was cutting you from the environement too. The other project that comes to my mind (and which appears also in the references of Hirschfeld) is Dunne and Raby 's Faraday Chair. This one was a more domestic version of the Faraday effect, a daybed into which you could slip to escape the electromagnetic fields. |
