As infraestruturas complexas contemporâneas são cada vez mais frágeis face a perturbações relativamente pequenas no espectro rádio eletromagnético. As erupções solares, por exemplo, podem interferir com os sistemas GPS, afetando a navegação aérea e as operações marítimas. As redes elétricas, que dependem de condições eletromagnéticas estáveis, enfrentam o risco de apagões generalizados provocados por tempestades geomagnéticas. As telecomunicações, especialmente as redes de satélite, sofrem degradação de sinal, comprometendo a conectividade global e os serviços de emergência.
2.2 microseconds: an anomaly
Martyna Marciniak
Martyna Marciniak’s (PL) practice is informed by a critique of political structures, research on systemic violence and their visual strategies. Her approach bridges media theory, and legal imaginaries to trace how power inscribes itself through image regimes and visual infrastructures. Her work engages in a form of pataforensics—poking at the tropes of scientific and forensic aesthetics, revealing their uncertainties, contradictions and lapses. Oscillating between sculpture, video and animation, she writes visual counter histories, and smuggles in other ways of seeing. Arts at CERN is the arts programme of CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva, Switzerland. Artists are welcome to CERN to experience how fundamental science pursues the big questions about the universe. Through residencies, art commissions, exhibitions and events, Arts at
CERN fosters meaningful exchanges between artists and CERN’s scientists and engineers. Martyna Marciniak is the recipient of the 2025 Collide Copenhagen residency, a collaboration between Arts at CERN and Copenhagen Contemporary.
