Electromagnetic fields are formed through complex interactions between outer space, the Sun, our Earth, its atmosphere, and the built environment. Our communications technology makes use of them to enable the transmission of information at local, global, and even extraterrestrial scales. This article introduces a series of artworks that explore new creative opportunities made possible both via low-cost sensors and through the use of state-of-the-art receivers. The projects engage with the electromagnetic spectrum as a medium of creative expression that maps the invisible landscapes of what Anthony Dunne has termed "Hertzian space."
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
