	In Hertzian Tales, author Anthony Dunne extends the physical interactivity between device and person into an architecture he calls "Hertzian Space." Hertzian space is a metaphor that is grounded in an actual phenomenon of fluctuating electro-magnetic waves. Everything that requires electricity gives off an electro-magnetic field that extends infinitely into space. Visible light is part of Hertzian space, as well as radio, medical X-rays, television signals and UV tanning lamps. While we only see the discrete object, there is in fact an entire wave-field emanating from the object. In a sense, Hertzian space is a holistic view of the electronic device and its cultural interactions. Dunne and Raby{{citation needed}} described this "electro-climate," inhabited by humans and electronic machines, as the interface between electromagnetic waves and human experiences.		Dunne and Raby believe that increased awareness of Hertzian space will assist our design practices. They think that we are only beginning to understand the effects and consequences of technological advances, and that "it is an environment that must be fully understood if it is to be made habitable".<ref>Dunne and Raby 2001, pg. 12.</ref> By thinking about technologies in terms of Hertzian Space, we gain a more holistic understanding of technology that goes beyond the merely visible technological object and encompasses the practices, economics, and ideologies that become encoded into technological artifacts.

	"Whereas 'cyberspace' is a metaphor that spatialises what happens in computers distributed around the world, Hertzian Space is actual and physical, even though our senses detect only a tiny part of the electromagnetic spectrum ... Hertzian Space is not isotropic but has an 'electroclimate' defined by wavelength, frequency and field strength. Interaction with the natural and artificial landscape creates a hybrid landscape of shadows, reflections, and hot points".<ref>[http://www.futurefarmers.com/trails/projects.html FutureFarmers - Projects]</ref>
