“Six Square Meters of RAM.”, 2010 by James Irwin. Radar absorbent material, anodised aluminium, white acrylic, MDF. Placed at the entrance to the exhibition space, “Six square meters of RAM” isolates the gallery behind it from external wireless and social networks. Carbon foam pyramids of Radar Absorbant Material prevent electromagnetic and sound waves from entering the room, and the gallery remains a space for isolated contemplation.

»Tiger Stealth« by Peter Sandbichler and Knowbotic Research is a re-engeneering and re-enactment of a stealthboat as shown in a Tamil Tiger propaganda video footage. The Tamil Tiger video footage was found on internet sites of private analysts of clandestine weapon systems. The boat, as supposedly financed by North Korea, shows the heroization of an attack boat patrolling river banks. The reconstructed boat was built using radar absorbing materials and powered by a simple electric motor. It succeeded in escaping radars as the stealth archetype.
