The tweeters are titanium dome
with ferrofluid cooling and a neodymium magnet structure.
Lewitt uses a material
called Ferrofluid, which is a liquid with magnetic properties that is used to make hard drives and music speakers.
Kodama is a Japanese artist who, like Brighetti,
uses ferrofluids for their uncanny effects.
Did you
know ferrofluids were developed by NASA in the 1960s to control fluids in space?
To be more specific in regard to Rhei, NASA scientists have known about and worked with
ferrofluid since the 1960s, and the field of electromagnetics has been around for almost two hundred years.
Finding a middle ground between the analog and digital scopes, it relies on a magnetic liquid known
as ferrofluid to work.
A magnet
entices ferrofluids — oil speckled with magnetic particles — to interact in strange yet spectacular formations of colour
A team of researchers from Stanford University, Stanford, California have demonstrated magnetic actuation of microfluidic water droplets using miniature EPMs and oil -
based ferrofluids.
Water droplets, immersed in a continuous
oil ferrofluid phase, experience a repulsive magnetophoretic force in the presence of an inhomogeneous magnetic field.
Indeed, Sam Lewitt's continuously
morphing ferrofluid piece on the third floor is an almost perfect embodiment of this invasive, shape - shifting manifestation of capitalism.
In the presence of a magnet,
ferrofluid coagulates to resemble a solid mass, its contours conforming to the magnetic field yet retaining the plasticity of a liquid.
Sam Lewitt's installation combines
miniature ferrofluid sculptures with fans that manipulate the form of the objects in regular intervals.
«I
love ferrofluid because it appeals to anybody with a curious mind,» creator Kyle Haines told Digital Trends.
That weird, black stuff you see morphing above is
called ferrofluid, a liquid saturated with suspended particles that react in the presence of a magnetic field.
For Fluid Employment, 2012, the artist
used ferrofluid, a material used to make hard drives that responds to a magnet yet retains the plasticity of a liquid, straddling both states.
Rhei is different, however, in that Stanković simplifies the concept, limiting the space in which
the ferrofluid can move and concentrating on the ability to create numbers.
But Rhei works because Stanković applies electromagnetism and
ferrofluid with a fresh, artistic take to something everyone uses today, creating an entirely new standard for what a clock is supposed to look like and do.
As the clock operates, electricity causes
the ferrofluid to flow into specific, activated areas of the clock face.
Ferrofluids are addictively fun to play with.
That's how we feel about
this Ferrofluid display.
Has anyone tried mixing a dilatant with
a ferrofluid?
Ferrofluids are colloidal liquids made of nanoscale magnetic particles suspended in a liquid.
Then he carefully pours
the Ferrofluid on top of the magnets.
Ferrofluid is used in a variety of applications, including electronic devices, analytical instrumentation, optics, and aerospace.
For this piece, Lewitt's subject is
ferrofluid, a liquid that becomes strongly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field because of the tiny magnetic particles that are suspended in the carrier liquid.
For the 2012 Biennial, his subject is
ferrofluid, a mixture of magnetic particles suspended in liquid that is used in a wide variety of technological applications, including computer hard drives, audio speakers, educational tools, and military aircraft.
The Imagine XA speakers feature
a ferrofluid - cooled titanium dome tweeter and clay - filled polypropylene cone woofer.
«People always try to break down who would like this into demographics, but I've introduced a lot of different types of people to
ferrofluid and the one common denominator to me is curiosity.
