German artist Carsten Nicolai's work often involves mathematical patterns and phenomena. In new work crt mgn showing at the EIGEN + ART gallery in Berlin he uses cathode ray TVs and pendulums to visualize the magnetic field—something which is usually invisible to human perception.The work features four neon tubes mounted on a wall, whose light is recorded by a camera and transmitted onto two TVs. The image this produces is then distorted by a magnet attached to a pendulum, moving over the screens to create interference and make manifest the mysterious presence of the magnetic field.Photo credit: Carsten NicolaiRead More
