|  | == PARANORMAL ==
 |  | 
|  | 
 |  | 
 | 
|  | Starting point of this work in progress is the term "normality", which is increasingly used by structurally right-wing groups for declaring extreme political ideas mainstream.
 |  | 
|  | 
 |  | 
|  | Following the instructions which I found either online or in literature, I am rebuilding several pseudo-scientific devices that are usually used for detecting or uncovering so called "paranormal activities". Most devices are easy to build, handy, suitable for all-day use when needed.
 |  | 
|  | 
 |  | 
|  | The project can be understood as an ironic commentary on the usurpation of a vague concept like "normality"/"standard".

|  | ==== Paranormality field detector ====
 |  | 
|  | 
 |  | 
|  | This an electrostatic field detector (a.k.a. as "V-Scope") that uses a common antenna to repond to ambient electrical fields. The LED glows brightly when positive charge approaches and becomes dimmer or blinks when negative charge comes in contact.

|  | ==== Nonstandard photography ====
 |  | 
|  | 
 |  | 
|  | "Many types of light have frequencies too high or too low for the human eye to detect. [...] A number of specialized photography techniques have been devised to work with different light frequencies to make the invisible visible." (Delton T. Horn)
 |  | 
|  | 
 |  | 
|  | One of those techniques is known as "Kirlian photography". In a Kirlian photograph, subjects are surrounded by colorful auras, which indicate their inner state on a physical, mental, and spiritual level. A professional institution could be asked to read the photographs.
