Many animals have the ability to sense magnetic fields. From an evolutionary perspective, it seems clear that magnetic reception is a sensory ability which dates back 600-900 million years. There are even signs that this ability dates back to 2 billion years ago, when the first complex cells on Earth were being formed. Despite the known presence of magnetic field sensitivity in fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and even several mammals, humans seem to be an exception. If humans truly are an exception it would imply that this useful ability was lost relatively recently in our evolutionary history. If this were the case, it could be possible that traces of this lost ability persist today. It is clear that the final word on the existence of human magnetic reception has yet to be written. 'Humans Seem to Be an Exception' is a documentary project about the phenomenon Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS). People with EHS claim sensitivity and attribute symptoms to exposure to various sources of electromagnetic radiation humans have introduced in our present-day living environment. Radiation sources like WiFi, antennae facilitating cell phone usage and our mobile phones themselves, Bluetooth but also the electrical wiring in our houses, household electronics, etc. Decades of research have already been conducted into possible side-effects of this radiation. Yet, despite rare correlations or red flags, no proof of a clear, causal relationship between exposure and health problems has been found to date. Electromagnetic hypersensitivity therefore remains not recognised as an existing medical condition. 'Humans Seem to Be an Exception' shows how those with EHS have to exist in a hostile world that not only denies what they feel but is also growing more and more saturated by what they try to escape. Furthermore, the project shows how the phenomenon, though it remains unrecognised, regardless is studied in the scientific world and taken serious. Finally, it shows how the phenomenon exists as pseudoscience through collaborative DIY experiments with people living with EHS. Crucially, these experiments ignore protocols that are used in science to avoid tainted results like the nocebo-effect. What remains are results that cannot claim to be show proof of side effects of exposure to electromagnetic radiation but do show that any symptom those with EHS claim to feel is certainly real, regardless of these being caused by radiation or a psychosomatic process. Because in the end, these are the two possible outcomes in this story. In the future, science will either discover to phenomenon to be real after all. Thus giving recognition to all the pain and discomfort that is felt by those living with EHS. Or science will definitively be able to confirm it to be a psychosomatic syndrome, caused by the mind itself. In this case, however, all symptoms felt remain equally real for those living with EHS. There is no option where they do not suffer.
