Semiconductor Magnetic Movies (USA, 2007)
The secret lives of invisible magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic and ever-changing geometries . All action takes place around NASA's Space Sciences Laboratories, UC Berkeley, to recordings of space scientists describing their discoveries. These recordings add to a series of sound materials, captured with a ELF-V LF radio recorder, a tool capable of converting ground level natural radio signals into sound frequencies. These electro-magnetic signals interferences are the product of turbulences triggered by solar winds combined with ionization in the upper atmosphere, climatic electrical storms and even Earth's molten core. The purpose is to show graphically the magnetic field in chaotic movement through the use of digital software, for a new and fascinating aesthetics of turbulence.
