ALEXANDER HAHN

electronic media artist

MAGICK PIECE

(1982, crystal ball. styrofoam. electronics, color copy of electronic circuit)


The object emits a subtle hum. The viewer, tempted to decipher the writing magnified and refracted by the crystal ball, will approach and bend over it, whence the apparatus starts to scream and will only quiet down once the reader retreats.
