Artist Statement:
Electrosmog is concerned with themes of electromagnetism and material processes which sonify inaudible events. Using an electrosmog high frequency receiver, Roos captures sounds produced by mobile phones, wireless phones, wifi, microwaves, and other electronic devices with frequencies between 800 MHz – 2.5 GHz. Will the electrosmog created by our wireless devices eventually be looked at the same way as the emissions from burning coal that once choked North American cities?
