Short description

Earth Core Laboratory & Elf Scan (2003-2004) is an experimental setup which uses a specifically designed device, the Elf Scanner, to locate and visualise fantastical creatures inside earth cores that are not visible to the naked eye. A delicate touch and high sensitivity are crucial to success: The tactile scan device is worn on the tip of the finger like a thimble. The other end is equipped with a funnel-shaped sensor that is used to gently scan the earth cores and subterranean life forms. The creatures and micro-universes found in the earth cores can be observed and listened to via the display box and headphones.

Since founding the "Institute for Art and Subjective Science" Research Raft, Agnes Meyer-Brandis has developed a number of specific instruments and objects that function as interfaces for exploring subterranean, terrestrial and celestial phenomena and environments. These "Tools to Search" include hand tools such as the SGM Iceberg Probe and the "Coral Reef Detector", mobile laboratories such as the "Earth Core Laboratory" and apparatus such as the "Cloud Core Visualisation Machine" and the "Cloud Core Scanner".
