Harnessing Wild Electricities From Outer Space
Harnessing Wild Electricities From Outer Space: Public Experiment - The Direct Conduction and Capture of Radio Emissions from Jupiter and Io During a Well-aligned Io-B Pass. Experiment performed by Thomas Ashcraft between 2 am to 4 am on May 29, 2007 at The Center For Contemporary Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico
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.
