Object to Object - Contextual Research 2

I was inspired by magnets and my idea was to use the principle of ' like poles repel, unlike poles attract' to make a tabletop decompression toy that people can touch to feel the magnetic field and visualise the unpredictable dynamics it presents.

I researched Takis Obituary's work and many of his works are about the magnetism, the magnet is an important element of his works. In his work, the slight oscillation caused by magnetism is like the magnets themselves performing for the audience, this oscillation is like giving life to the magnets so that they can interact and communicate with people.
