SKY EAR
usman haque is developing the sky ear - to be launched may 4th. the sky ear is a cloud of several hundred helium balloons embedded
with mobile phones.
The balloons will contain miniature sensor circuits (simple gaussmeters) that detect levels of electromagnetic radiation at a variety of frequencies. When activated, the sensor circuits will cause ultra-bright coloured LEDs to illuminate. The cloud will glow and flicker brightly as it passes through varying radio and microwave spaces.
we saw usman in london where he brought his gaussmeter circuit to jonah’s simpletext performance at the ICA - may the 4th be with you, usman.
