at The Center For Contemporary Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico

Experimenter - Electro-Receptor

Using a radio telescope built out of modified short wave radios and multiple forms of antennas,
we attempted the direct electro-reception of Jovian decametric radio emissions
during a May 29, 2007 Io-B pass and invited the public to attend.


This action was designed to be a practical electromagnetic wave harnessing experiment and also serve as a cultural
and artistic event incorporating wild electricity, sensor design, sound, risk, cosmodity and time.


We are pleased to report success in the capture of the so-called wild Jovian electromagnetic surf on
May 29 at 3:27 am MDT. Although the emissions were relatively weak and short lasting this Io
passage Jupiter did indeed radio beam for a moment in time, as predicted, and we got it.
