In this piece twenty magnets are constrained to radial movement. Their magnetic fields are all polarized the same way. This causes them to repel each other and create a space between them. Naturally they find a steady state on a sheered grid. Any external force disturbs this state. Inflicted impulses propagate through the system until the inertia decays and another steady state is assumed. Simple rules of influence result in complex motions. VIDEO magnettoo.mov |
