Electromagnetism and theNth sense: augmenting senses in the grinder subculture
Mark D. Doerksen · The Senses and Society · 2017
Grinders aim to enhance their sensory capabilities by assimilating emerging material technologies to their bodies. One of the most common upgrades is a magnet implant, which makes it possible to feel electromagnetic waves. Peripheral devices are then built to transmit information (e.g. weather, twitter, sonar) into electromagnetic waves, making it a powerful mediator between environment and body.
