Two men visit Kunsthaus Graz, the building commonly referred to as the Friendly Alien, to see the exhibition "Moving Parts, Forms of the Kinetic". Because one of them suffers from electrical hypersensitivity – a certified medical disease that causes severe symptoms when exposed to electromagnetic fields – he attends the museum in a special protective suit which shields him from the electromagnetism generated by the artworks in the exhibit. The two must navigate with care through the exhibition, explaining and bartering with guards about the technical aspects of each work in the exhibition.  learn about Electrical Sensitivity as an Emerging Illness
