Hot on the heels of Sinister7, the “aether detector,” comes this other piece of spooky-tech, an electronic “scrying” device for detecting and giving form to the invisible world of electromagnetic fields. The explanation on the site is slightly torturous artspeak, but the concept is kind of interesting.

More like unintelligible nonsense mixed with the biggest grammatical failure to ever grace the internets.
kids, let this be a lesson about why we never mix postmodernism and soldering irons.
We will be the first to “scry” that it is BS….
it’s all well and good for art and science to mix. But the practice of obfuscating simple things like this with crappy art-speak is pretentious and retarded.
Sterling-silver example of someone trying to sound over-educated by mostly-improper use of “big words”. Like the way Don King talks: “What we need to do, at this juncture, is obfuscate our corrugations and yield our domesticity to our agraricity”. Whenever I hear someone communicating thusly, it makes me wonder why they’re out to distract me. Snake oil, anyone? Good for what ails ya…?
Hucksters, begone!
good idea
Has anyone yet been able to decipher what this guy is going on about!?!? I’m confused to say the least. Please, for the love of god, could someone give an english explanation of what it is and how it works.
