MAGNETIC
WAVE MACHINE magnetically couples twenty-five 18" magnets.
The five-inch ceramic magnets dynamically interact and react to
visitors driving one or more pendulums by hand. The resultant
behaviors are both predictable (like pendulums) and unpredictable,
as small groups of pendulums begin to break away, align together,
and swing independently before realigning themselves with their
neighboring magnet/pendulums. Exciting a single pendulum can send
slow waves through the entire system as the pendulums respond
to both their own resonance and the magnetic pull of their immediate
neighbors.
