Visual Magnetism
Visual Magnetism is an interdisciplinary art and science project that engages the senses and stimulates wonder and curiosity in the participant. Hand-held magnets let the viewer manipulate ferrofluid in a display tank, creating a sensory feast of the remarkable visual and physical properties of ferrofluid. Live video projection from a perpendicular viewing angle is shown on the ceiling, providing a full exploration of the fluid’s behavior.
