this isnt' rocket science: emfs make people sick

this is now settled law and science

In 2021, a Federal district court ruled that the FCC willfully ignored 1000s of scientidic studies and orderd them to consider them.

From 2021-2026, the FCC (under Biden and Trump 1) illegally refused.

2026 was the gamechanger: those data centers aren't insurable

Unlike most develloped countries, the U.S. denied the existence of non-thermal bioeffecs from EMFs. That was backwoods and insane and clearly a cover up.

but once they fessed up to havana snyndrome, the HHS, changed its posture onEMFs (from denial to invetigation), and theFDA did the same (in May), and the WHO re-cllassifed them for "emdical purposes" the gigs is up.

this is the open lane, but you need a pr/legal/jury strategy

go figure, we have one: our "artwork" was just us testing legal artument and jury amterials in. public.

We're like IRL saul goodmans, btw.

Get us a sleazy lawyer in your town and we can black a data cetner.

Get us Erin Brockovich, and we can ban 'em.

this is the open lane, but you need a pr/legal/jury strategy

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.

The IAA's Proven Strategy

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 Couldn't Doctors and Lawyers Agree?

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).
