Beams of light

This article talks of the work of Richard Box, the piece explores the debate whether electric and magnetic fields produced by appliances such as mobile phones and high-voltage wires contribute to human illness and cancer. The works is made from a series of fluorescent light bulbs displayed in a gridded form, the beams are planted in the ground beneath a series of power lines. The luminosity of the bulbs is controlled using ghost power radiating from the overhead wires.
This work related to the ideas we have been exploring within our group with magnetism an light, experimenting with ferrofluid (magnetic liquid).
