  • There are millions of people in this country suffering from and attempting to treat their over-and-underdiagnosed autoimmune and environmental illnesses.  For these people, investigating the unseen causes of their conditions is often a life-or-death issue.  And unfortunately, the medical legal communities are divided over causes and potential solutions.

  • What's the IAA's -- Proven -- Art Solution to the EMF Health Crisis?

    Since 2017, the IAA has been producing juried art installations, academic conference presentations, publications as "investigative exhibits" that provide the public with an interactive multimedia experience of issues related to environmental illness and medical uncertainty.  These installations, along with supplemental publication materials, are curated for future use by academics, advocates, and attorneys as evidence in scientific debates and courtroom proceedings on the environmental health impacts of electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs).

  • Why Can't Doctors and Scientists Agree on EMFs?
    The confusion is coming from within the scientific community itself. Physicists, biologists, and doctors can't seem to agree on what the thermal effects of electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) mean for our health. So we have two competing views of reality when it comes to the correlation between EMFs and environmental illness, and the fight between them can't be settled by appealing to science as such (they're both supposed to be on the "team" of science). That's why we need alternative ways of "testing" the perception and measurement of EMFs and their potential environmental impacts (and don't worry: we also hate the tinfoil crackpots and fake medicine peddlers; we're actual academics).

IAA EMF Installations

Environmental illnesses are clusters of symptoms (nausea, muscle aches, skin disease, etc.) that are attributed to the prevalence of toxins in one’s physical environment, such as water or air pollutants. Millions of people in the United States have gotten sick from these illnesses, and all too often companies and organizations are complicit in the maintenance of low environmental safety standards.

Juried installations and exhibitions

The IAA creates juried installations and curates exhibits tailored around making environmental illness into a perceivable, tangible, and actionable issue (for a more detailed example, check out our EMF page). Doing so enables conversations on environmental illness between those who suffer from them, those who study them, and those with the resources to do something about it.
