The very best of Ars Electronica 1979 - actual
Silver Cell
Aram Bartholl (DE)

The Silver Cell cell phone carrying case works like a Faraday cage. A cell phone placed inside this case can neither transmit nor receive. The material it’s made of, a completely silver-coated polyamide fabric, remains transparent, so a modern cell phone’s display can be read through it.
Silver Cell makes it possible to evade positioning or tracking by the service provider. The user’s own personal dead-zone lets him/her decide whether or not to leave behind traces in a spatial data model.
