Great article in the Chattanooga paper about my latest work. In the article it mentions me watching the videos in the chamber, however the videos were played on VCR's outside the chamber and their magnetic radiation was beamed into the chamber using satellite dishes.

I originally planned to install the chamber in my living room, so I would have a close connection between the performance and my life, but our ceiling fan was in the way. I then installed it in my studio, which has 12 foot ceilings, but I could not back up far enough to get a good shot. I called around and was graciously allowed to use the Old Woolen Mill in Cleveland. It looks like this space is going to work perfect. My goal is to start filming this weekend.

So the idea behind the super powers chamber is the fact that VHS tapes use magnetic tape to record video and audio. Therefore, if I did indeed have super powers as a kid, there must be some residual power left on the magnetic tapes. The chamber I am building will collect and concentrate the magnetic radiation. Hopefully this will allow me to reclaim these powers I have lost or have suppressed. The images below show the chamber in progress. I am now lining the entire inside with a special type of Aluminum Sheet.
