The practices of visualisation and optical technologies allow us to direct our sight, to augment our perception of the visual work, and to make the invisible tangible. This module offers students a range of experimental approaches to the production of the visual and sonic media.
Realtime Project – Glass
So the Ferrofluid turning the Petri dish brown got me thinking and I found my old vile of Ferrofluid still suspended in water, and it has no staining on the glass what so ever. I brought this into Uni to show Luke and we both decided it’s one of two things, 1) because it’s in glass, and not plastic like our Petri dishes, or 2) because our Ferrofluid was gone-off (really didn’t want it to be this). So we filled another vile (empty absinthe shot container) with our Ferrofluid in the same amounts as the original we got from Lee to see what would happen.
Luckily as you can see in the video it worked in the same way as Lee’s (a little less reactive) but no staining!! So we realised we needed glass petri dishes!!
So back to Smithers we will go!
