From BBC TV’s Tomorrow’s World and the Royal Institution Christmas Lecture, to research into the aerodynamics of boomerangs, the Dutch artist and physicist Felix Hess talks about his extraordinary career and in particular his work as an artist from the 1980s onwards, building small electronic machines that communicate by sound, movement and the air.
