The goal of my interactive installation "proxemics" is the close observation of the fascinating ferro fluid in a glass container.

The proximity sensor measures movement outside of the glass (e.g. approaching hands) and passes the information on to an Arduino board, which steers two flat disc magnets S-25-05-N and sets them in motion. The magnetic field of the magnets influences the movement of the ferro fluid and causes rather spectacular shapes and bubbles.
