Light as Air [With CDROM]

By Felix Hess and Rolf Julius

Felix Hess is a unique crosser of the boundaries between science and art. The trained physicist wrote his doctor's thesis on the aerodynamics of the boomerang and did research on the hydrodynamics of ships and fish and on the atomic structure of metals. The calls of frogs in Australia, Mexico, and Japan inspired him to use electronic components to construct devices simulating the communication behaviour of living systems. His research on sound finally led to interest in hidden phenomena like infrasound. The result: wondrously poetic installations that allow us to experience hidden energy fields with our senses.
