Ferromancy is an interactive installation which allows users to experience the state transitions of a colorful ferromagnetic mixture under magnetic stimulus. The user could vary the magnetic field using a knob which grants life to the mixture, creating an endless number of animations, rich with mind boggling patterns and organic forms.
The animation is captured with a digital microscope and the magnified visuals are projected on a 3D convex screen in real time.
Through a multidisciplinary approach, Ferromancy was created with the aim to reflect on the influence of electromagnetic force on our daily lives, its origin and evolution. The installation highlights the graphic aspect of chemical interactions under the external and intangible force, hence revealing the beauty of the invisible energy.
Ferromancy plays different roles; an educational apparatus, a drawing canvas, a mesmerizing painting for deep relaxation.
