The first version of the Cell Phone Disco was completed in 2006 by the architect Ursula Lavrenčič and information designer Auke Touwslager. Since then a number of versions have existed - at Next Fest and in galleries and museums around the world, but this installation really belongs in the public realm for all to see. Each LED on the wall reacts to radio waves that are produced by a cell phone in use and paints a picture of the electromagnetic field around the viewer. The wall reveals the hidden elements in our environment and makes them perceptible to our senses.
