Materials and measurements

The following materials were used:
  • Wire rods
  • Wire ropes
  • Various metal fittings
  • 2000 small sphere magnets type K-05-C
  • some ring magnets – we chose gold-plated ring magnets type R-06-02-02-G
These materials produced a circumference of approx. 400 x 690 x 200 cm.

Animated construction

The countless linear wire elements are connected with tiny magnets. The result is a mobile net-like structure that grows rampantly and leads to a chaotic formation.

Dynamic change

The very fragile composition shifts and changes through the slightest touch and can even totally collapse. Thanks to magnetism and gravity, new arrangements and compositions arise constantly.
