As I experimented
with the visual
properties of different
liquids, I came across
ferrofluid. This is
basically a dark, viscous
liquid that responds to
a magnetic field by
trying to align its
particles with the
polarity of the magnet,
often forming the most
incredible points,
mazes and surface
structures. Adding
paints and dyes to
ferrofluid became a
natural starting point
for a whole new series
of experiments.
Saat bereksperimen
dengan beragam
cairan, saya
menemukan cairan
bernama ferrofluid.
Cairan hitam dengan
viskositas ini bereaksi
terhadap medan
magnetik dengan cara
menyatukan partikel
dirinya dan muatan
kutub magnet,
terciptalah titik-titik,
jaringan gelombang
serta struktur
permukaan yang
mengagumkan.
Seluruh rangkaian
eksperimen baru
selalu diawali dengan
penambahan cat dan
pewarna ke ferrofluid.
