Radiation art

If you’ve got your ears to the ground, you’ll know that cell phone radiation is a hot topic at the moment. Pingponging between what scientists say and what the mobile providers say, it’s hard to make up your mind on the issue. Regardless of all this, the fact is that cell phones do emit a lot of radiation.

I thought it might be more interesting to take a different approach and think about how you can raise awareness about the levels of emission of your favorite piece of technology.

Cell phone disco does just that. This project by Ursula Lavrencic and Auke Touwslager is a large wall with electro-magnetic sensitive lights allow you to draw with your cell phone and interact with this field of emissions in a very tangible way.

That’ll make you think twice about staying on the phone all day long.
