\u00bbWe are not supposed to be aware of the electromagnetic world. Indeed, it\u2019s as though someone is operating a policy of disinformation. They say it\u2019s natural that everything is wireless, that everything comes out of the cloud. But that\u2019s absurd! So I want to render audible what\u2019s actually behind it all.\u00ab
\n\u2013 Christina Kubisch<\/p>\n
In the beginning was the vision of a wirelessly free exchange of information designed to connect all humanity. And today it has come true. Seven billion mobile phones sold worldwide and concomitant wireless technology make our modern cities pulsate in the truest sense of the word.

\nA dream for many, if not for all. For some, the radiation causes physical pain from which they need to escape.
\nIn her film, Anna Katharina Wohlgenannt accompanies five people from different countries. One thing unites them: they are all electrohypersensitive \u2013 i.e. they react physically to electromagnetic waves and live on the margins of our networked society. Take Clarissa, for example, who can no longer stand the rays and has therefore sewn herself an overcoat of protective material in order to go shopping in town. Or Sosth\u00e8ne and his wife Catherine who have to shield themselves and their children completely.
\nFor her part, sound artist Christina Kubisch is not electromagnetically hypersensitive. She does not have to flee from the waves of radiation. On the contrary, she hunts them down and collects them. She is a pioneer in the field of electromagnetic sonification and has developed special headphones that make the waves audible.
