| Porotrude-Flow: Experiment
of Shape Using Magnetic Fluid Protrude,
flow is an interactive installation which consists of a shallow pool
of "magnetic fluid" that can be manipulated by computer-controlled
magnets.
"The fluid is made of a mix of paraffin oil and metal dust which produces
a slimy animal that can be pushed and pulled by the magnets. Five of
the magnets are below a metal plate where the fluids resides. The sixth
magnet sits
on top
of it in the middle pulling the fluid up while the other magnets
attract the fluid either to the middle or one of the four corners."
