BRIGHT
LIGHTS, BIG TROUBLE:
"In an effort to raise public awareness about the potential dangers of
electromagnetic fields (EMFs), artists Larry and Debby Kline placed a
series of freestanding fluorescent light bulbs along the power grid in
Southern California. According to Orion (Sept./Oct. 2004), 'the bulbs,
whose plasma is excited by the ambient EFMs emanating from high-voltage
lines, light up without a direct electrical connection.' Disturbing
stuff, considering that children living in homes with high magnetic
fields have a greater risk of developing leukemia. The installation
pictured above, located at the entrance to the Chevron Pipe Line
Company in Kettleman City, California, is titled Cathedral Gate. Other examples of
the Klines' politically charged conceptual artwork can be seen at
