Cell Phone Disco by Auke Touwslager and Ursula Lavrencic is a playful experimental installation made out of flashing cells. By multiplication of a mobile phone gadget, only slightly altered consumer product, they created a space to experience the invisible body of the mobile phone.
The Cell Phone Disco installation has two parts:
MOBILE AURA
Flashing cells with sensors of higher sensitivity are used to detect electromagnetic radiation of active mobile phone in a range of approximately a meter. This way a sort of aura appears around the phone, revealing a part of it's invisible body.
While the user moves around talking on his cell phone, this aura follows the conversation as a light shadow through the space.
MOBILE DRAWING
Much less sensitive cells are used to create a canvas for an inkless marker. The LEDs get activated only by an extreme proximity of the electromagnetic source. Moving the phone close to the cells therefore leaves a trace of light, an electromagnetic drawing.
CELL PHONE DISCO (aka MOBILE DISCO) went into premiere at the Lamball Bakra exhibition, Showroom MAMA in Rotterdam.
