microwave

• is a kitchen appliance that cooks or heats food by dielectric heating.

• Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths ranging from as long as one meter to as short as one millimeter

• The word "radiation" refers to the fact that energy can radiate.*

• that long-term exposure may have a carcinogenic effect - radiation that is an agent directly involved in the making of cancer or in the increase of its propagation.

contextcontext of space of a microwave, within it and outside of it

concept

- the user experience

method

recording- camera- orange cellophane- strobe light- aluminum foil

- rotation of the camera inside the microwave - recordings inside and outside the microwave

process• we taped the strobe light on the ceiling of the microwave.

• we covered the strobe light with colored cellophane, to give different lighting experience.

• we covered the walls with aluminum foil so there could be more reflexions.

• we recorded inside the microwave with a turning plate so it would seem as if it was on.

• we recorded outside of the microwave as well to prove our concept of user experience with the space of a microwave.
