Shape Shift 0x04 by Hybrid Surface
Shape Shift 0x04 is a kinetic sculpture that computationally morphs materials and fluids. Electromagnetic forces choreograph organic behavior of magnetic fluid, creating a rich vocabulary of movements from gentle undulations to violent collisions and separations. The piece embraces the ambiguity of the controlled and chaotic, and the animate and inanimate.
Materials: Microcontroller, Custom Electronics, Custom Software, Electromagnets, Magnetic Fluid, Glass Container, Mirrored Glass, Thermoplastic Polymer, Paint, Power Supply
