Geiger Cloak (2010 - In progress)

As scientific knowledge reveals ever more unintuitive, unimaginable aspects of the natural world, can we imagine ways of representing these and physically experiencing them? And, in turn, use technology as a means to reveal a hidden ‘magic’ in everyday reality?

Using an embedded modified Geiger Counter, the Geiger Cloak reveals when a single energetic particle from outer space (otherwise known as a cosmic ray or ionizing radiation) passes through the body of the wearer, by creating a physical sensation as well as an intriguing spectacle of this invisible phenomenon. A phenomenon which is happening to you at this very moment.
