Induction Series #4.1 - Beam

NEXT
The Induction Series reviews and re-interprets the laws of electromagnetic induction to make sounds. The series uses a combination of everyday objects, magnets and coils to generate electromagnetic charges. At the same time it explores how sound is created from the generate charge which can resonate in these objects.
​A floating structure of 1000 tin boxes is kept together by strong magnets which create at the same time a permanent magnetic field. Electromagnetic coils move the structure, creating light vibrations that produce sound. The vibrations are amplified acoustically by natural resonances which transform the tin boxes into sound boxes.
The work emphasizes on the transition between what can be seen and what can be heard.
