Faraday Cage
2018
Beirut, Lebanon / Ajman, United Arab Emirates
Aluminum, steel, silver fabric
Ø 49 x H 50 cm
Faraday cage, is a device that distributes electromagnetic
waves on its exterior conductive skin and prevents these
waves from entering the interior space of the cage. When
placed inside the cage, mobile communication devices are
disabled, disrupting the omnipresent communication
infrastructure embodied in these devices we carry, in order
to re-capture and fortify our personal space.
Disguised in a table that is reduced to a horizontal surface
elevated and supported by a vertical element resting on the
ground, the proposed faraday cage re-posits the social
component of the table allowing those around the table to fall
off the grid and speak freely without the anxiety of being
monitored.
