    Em Life Spectrum
Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on an art project aimed at visualizing everyday scenes through an expanded electromagnetic (EM) spectrum perspective, beyond just ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light. The user seeks resources to understand the energy levels across various EM spectrum bands, including gamma rays and radio waves. A relevant resource mentioned is Chromoscope, which allows users to explore the EM spectrum visually. This project emphasizes the intersection of art and science in interpreting the unseen aspects of daily life.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum, including UV, IR, gamma rays, and radio waves.
  • Familiarity with visual representation techniques in art.
  • Basic knowledge of energy measurement in different EM bands.
  • Experience with digital tools for visualizing scientific data.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of gamma rays and their applications in art and science.
  • Explore tools for visualizing the electromagnetic spectrum, such as Chromoscope.
  • Learn about energy quantification methods for different EM spectrum bands.
  • Investigate artistic techniques for representing scientific concepts visually.
USEFUL FOR

Artists, educators, and scientists interested in the visualization of the electromagnetic spectrum and its implications for everyday life.

Sorry if this isn't the best forum for this question; putting it here due to a gut feeling cos my brain wouldn't tell me where to put it.

I'm thinking of an idea for an art project. I'd like to somehow depict what a boring, every-day scene might look like if our eyes could see more of the EM spectrum. I mean a LOT more, not just UV and IR. Like out to gamma rays and radio, even. Can someone point me to any resource that could help me to discover how much energy reaches us from different bands in the spectrum? If this is a nonsense question, please assume that it's just because I lack the vocabulary to articulate it, rather than cos I'm just a big doofus.
