Monira Foundation presents Discovering Dan Flavin: Listening to the Ether. Sonic Interventions for Dan Flavin’s Light Sculptures on September 13, 2024 in collaboration with TESTU Collective.

Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Visible light makes up only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. There is a huge range of em radiation that human eyes cannot see, radiation that fills the air, all the time. Dan Flavin’s light sculptures emit multiple wavelengths of em radiation, these waves emanate from and fill the architectural spaces that enclose them.

Serena Stucke & Dan Tesene of the intermedia art group, Testu Collective, tap into these invisible inaudible worlds through EMF pick up coils. They use a variety of coils on each sculpture, revealing the spatial wave patterns emitted by Dan Flavins works.
