Electromagnetic Plot by Matthias Fitz, video, 2009
Human made electromagnetic radiation and signals have become an elementary part of society, at the latest since the invention of wireless telegraphy at the beginning of the 20th century.
Electromagnetic waves surround and penetrate us continuously. No matter where we are.
Electromagnetic plot is a collection of electromagnetic audio-signals, analog and digital interference-images and signals, as well as different variations of making electromagnetic radiation visible for scientific purposes.
Assembled in an associative way these image- and sound fragments resulted in one possible blueprint of the invisible electromagnetic environment of human beings.
