Description

In this looping installation, the British filmmaking duo known as Semiconductor reveals the chaotic geometries of hidden magnetic fields in and around NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratory at UC Berkeley. Filmed as the artists tried to come to grips with the science they explored, Magnetic Movie originates with magnetic fields in relation to the Sun, Earth and Mars, and the techniques space scientists use to visualize them. As scientists describe their discoveries, vivid animations of magnetic fields undulate and pop to sounds of electromagnetic signals from the Earth’s ionosphere and magnetosphere.
