Prototype for an Electromagnetic Fountain (2008)
Every city has an invisible twin, an architecture in flux made up of electromagnetic waves emitted by its numerous electrical and wireless communications devices. The Electromagnetic Fountain recycles both water and electromagnetic waves as artistic material. But that’s not all! Its bowl is recycled too, a redundant parabola dish from Norway’s TV tower. Technically speaking, the fountain works much like the Bellagio Fountain, Las Vegas. However, the fountain is transportable, designed to appear in urban spaces for a limited time. The presentation will include the idea of ‘transmission space as a narrative place’ in the context of public art.
