Maxwell's latest installation is a work entitled 'Breathe'.
It consists of two 'lightpods' connected to a specially made and programmed dimming thyristor.
Each pod contains two dozen incandescent striplights suspended from a frame by their electric cables.
In turn, each lightpod slowly becomes brighter at the other lightpods expense. The current slowly travels back and forth from the pods.
Simultaneously a radio signal placed near the pods picks up intererence from the current, and in response produces a deep hum, changing in frequency.
