“…For example, Morpho Towers (2006) featured ferrofl uidic standing spirals, which were depicted as ocean and tornadoes. [ 91 ] This idea was based on the Japanese concept of "mitate" (juxtaposition), which refers to mimicking natural phenomena, and it provides freshness and an element of surprise, producing an intriguing experience. [ 92 ] Her ferrofl uidic artworks have been exhibited in media art exhibitions, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo in 2010.…”

Methods of forming and patterning materials at the nano- and microscales are finding increased use as a medium of artistic expression, and as a vehicle for communicating scientific advances to a broader audience. While sharing many attributes of other art forms, miniaturized art enables the direct engagement of sensory aspects such as sight and touch for materials and structures that are otherwise invisible to the eye. The historical uses of nano-/microscale materials and imaging techniques in arts and sciences are presented. The motivations to create artwork at small scales are discussed, and representations in scientific literature and exhibitions are explored. Examples are presented using semiconductors, microfluidics, and nanomaterials as the artistic media; these utilized techniques including micromachining, focused ion beam milling, two-photon polymerization, and bottom-up nanostructure growth. Finally, the technological factors that limit the implementation of artwork at miniature scales are identified, and potential future directions are discussed. As research marches toward even smaller length scales, innovative and engaging visualizations and artistic endeavors will have growing implications on education, communication, policy making, media activism, and public perception of science and technology.

“…Aerial Tunes provides an example of non-permanence magic. Other examples defying the physical laws can for example be found in ZeroN (Lee et al 2011) a mid-air display or Kodama's (Kodama 2008) magnetic ferrofluid sculptures. The sense of magic was directly expressed by people interacting with Aerial Tunes (Alrøe et al 2012).…”

Actuated Interfaces are receiving a great deal of interest from the research community. The field can now present a range of point designs, illustrating the potential design space of Actuated Interfaces. However, despite the increasing interest in Actuated Interfaces, the research carried out is nevertheless primarily preoccupied with the technical challenges and potential application areas, rather than how users actually approach, experience, interpret and understand Actuated Interfaces. Based on three case studies, investigating how people experience Actuated Interfaces, we point to; magic, movement and ambiguity as fruitful perspectives for understanding users' experiences with Actuated Interfaces. The three perspectives are employed to reflect upon opportunities and challenges, as well as point to open questions and relevant areas for future research for Actuated Interfaces.

“…Linetic (Link to youtube videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5EMyRsLLeQ) can provide the user with a natural and fluid experience where three-dimensional, tangible interaction takes place. Building on the idea of a ferrofluid display created by Sachiko Kodama [13], Linetic provides an input/output solution based on ferrofluid. Ferrofluid is essentially a liquid that reacts to magnetic fields.…”

“…In regards to the material we choose to use for our input and output, the ferromagnetic art installations by Sachiko Kodama provide an aesthetic viewpoint of how the power of fluid and transient shapes can capture the imagination of viewers [13]. In her projects ferromagnetic fluids are used to create organic shapes that change structure dynamically.…”

Abstract. We present an OUI that combines Hall Effect sensing and actuation through electromagnetically-manipulated ferrofluid. The movement of magnets worn on the fingertips, over a surface embedded with a Hall Effect sensor array and electromagnets, gives the user the ability to interact with ferrofluid. This system provides a three-dimensional, physically animated response, as well as three-dimensional, spatial-sensing inputs. The vibration of the magnets worn on the fingertips, produced by the repulsing polarity of the electromagnets, provides the user with haptic feedback. Linetic is a multimodal interface with a visual, audio and haptic experience. In this manuscript we explain the overall system from a technical, usability and aesthetic viewpoint by outlining significant experiments conducted that contribute to the development of the system. Furthermore we discuss the philosophical and aesthetical implications of the Linetic system, as well as characterize Linetic's disposition to Analogness or Digitalness.
