Cable Xcess is a public service announcement/infommercial which informs viewers about the consequences of long-term exposure to electro-magnetic fields. I perform as both spokesperson and case study, transmitting a pirate broadcast through my body (body as satellite), educating viewers about early signs of exposure, and sharing alternative methods for coping with contamination.
