Ferro Spike, Art, Fluid, Electromagnet, Fab academy
This project is a work of art, the fluid is set into motion by a Bluetooth connected remote controller which sends signals activating an electromagnet that interacts with the fluid. This project is a work of art, in continuous development and exploration. Composed mainly of a chamber containing some Ferrofluids. Pre-specified spots on this fluid’s surface are set into motion by a Bluetooth connected remote controller which sends signals activating an electromagnet that moves with the fluid.
The control over the fluid motion is minimal, leaving the fluid a space for randomness in motion, and much space for art to be witnessed!
Although this project was mainly about seeing how to control Ferro fluids and trying to make something artistic out of that; my growing curiosity about the material got me to try making my own fluids from scratch.
