Compass Moon Atom Room, 1990-1991
270 magnetic spheres, each 10 cm dia. nodized aluminum, magnets, nylon
installation: Moderna Museet,Stockholm
collection: Moderna Museet, Stockholm.
The magnetic spheres are aligned by Earth's magnetic field so all of the black halves face south. At the same time, the field of each sphere inter-links with the fields of the spheres surrounding it. Any motion of one sphere is transfered throughout the entire array. The arrangement of the spheres is the same as the pattern of atoms in a crystal. People may walk inside. source link here.
