Magnetic Sculpture

Product Information

The people of Monte Alto] chose the boulders, and they shaped them in such a way that the magnetism would be measurable at certain points of the anatomy of the sculptures,” Chinchilla says.

He was self-taught and an autodidact in all types of material whether it was philosophy or history or politics.The ancient people of Monte Alto were perhaps seeking out these basalt boulders that had these magnetic properties,” Paris says, adding that they could have also been effectively using a type of primitive compass in their searches. Knowledge of magnetism could have even predated the Monte Alto culture, Chinchilla says. Archaeologists discovered a magnetized bar rich in hematite dating from 1400 B.C. to 1000 B.C. at San Lorenzo in the present-day Mexican state of Veracruz, one of the major cities of the Olmec. If this bar was somehow used as a magnetic tool, it would mean that Mesoamerican knowledge of magnetic forces predates even the early descriptions by Thales of Miletus. Keep these magnets at least a foot away from all magnetic media, including computers, hard drives, floppy disks, cassette tapes, VHS tapes, and credit cards. Keep them away from consumer electronics, including computer monitors, VCR's, TV's, cameras, cellphones, and personal music devices. Keep them away from things you don't want magnetized, like watches and tools. Keep them away from people with pacemakers or other implants. Takis saw sculpture as ‘following the indications of the matter’. Rather than molding or working a material into something, he shows us what is already there. It's best to build a base for your sculpture. Instructables recommended using a cylindrical project box, which provides an ideal platform for displaying your finished piece. After heating up your hot glue gun, apply some of the glue to a few disc magnets and affix them to the inside of the box. If you follow this technique, you can actually use metal nuts and bolts to build sculptures on top of the project box. Note: The stronger the magnets you use, the taller the structures you can create.

Together the sounds form a mysterious and serene humming music. Takis suggests that it is the sound of the natural forces of the cosmos.

Looks like I know what I’ll have to start prepping for Christmas! The cube magnet is attached to the braided line with a clevis pin. The line is tied through the hole in the clevis pin, and then threaded through the hole in the cube magnet.
