SA01: Radio Anechoic Chamber (2012) limited edition print
This print is of the Radio Anechoic Chamber at the Technical University of Denmark. This facility opened in 1967, and currently operates with the European Space Agency (ESA) to test microwave antennas for use in satellites and mobile networks, among other things. The idea is to minimize any reflections of microwaves, and the big foam spikes are filled with carbon and iron to absorb radio waves. This tests the effectiveness of the antennas without any external intrusion, simulating the conditions of, for example, space. Many of these chambers are blue; according to Sergey Pivnenko, the professor in charge of the chamber, most of them were black in the old days—until some bright spark noticed that it was a bit depressing to work in a black spiky room all day, so the manufacturers of the spikes started making them in blue.
