Additional notes
This talk was part of TEDxKULeuven's "Embracing Discomfort" event, February 2025.
The antenna was never actually on. It was also a 4G base station, not 5G. We chose this simply because the equipment is bigger and looks scarier!
The slides (just two) are missing from the video but were shown during the live performance. You can find them here.
The original title was 'Radiating the Audience with a 5G Base Station'. TEDx reserves the right to change titles and descriptions.
The mic cut out during the performance a couple of times. If you wish to see a version with subtitles, you can click CC on YouTube, or watch it here with subtitles embedded.
