title = "Spatial magnetic field visualization: Interactive kinetic art installation driven by the invisible forces of magnetic fields1",
abstract = "Spatial Magnetic Field Visualization is an interactive kinetic art installation driven by magnetic field data from Nature. It is a physical space that emulates the electromagnetic connection between the Sun and Earth, the invisible yet ubiquitous forces in nature, which has a profound effect on us residing on the earth. One purpose behind this project is to create conversations about this scientific topic in the realm of media art through a three dimensional physical visualization. The Earth's magnetic field is like a living organism that goes between ups and downs. The geomagnetic field is ever-changing and requires constant observation. The impact of what is now called {"}space weather{"} on the human life and technology (e.g., GPS, radio communication, power transmission, etc) is substantial, significant enough for former president Obama to call for an executive order in preparation for space weather-related disasters. This project uses painted magnetic balls as pixels in the spatial dimension and attempts to visualize the effect of this scientific phenomenon in the three dimensional space.",
