The nickel particles act like iron filings to align themselves to the magnets' fields. Weisser created the two works above (1XREFDMG021008 and 1XREFDMGRLCYL) by distorting <A href="http://www.magnetsales.com/Flexible/Sheet.htm">sheet-magnets'</A> clean lines. His work makes the invisible electromagnetic world visible in glowing lines that look like the Moorish masterpieces at the <A href="http://www.greatbuildings.com/cgi-bin/gbi.cgi/The_Alhambra.html/cid_2342578.html">Alhambra</A> presented on an old IBM 5151 green screen. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/04/magnetic-fields.html"><P>Weisser is opening his studio to the public this weekend on Friday, April 25th from 6-10 pm, and on Saturday, April 26th from 2-6 pm. It's studio number 26 at Pratt Institute (200 
Willoughby Ave., Brooklyn, NY), in the Pratt Studios building. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/04/magnetic-fields.html"><P>Via the permanently awesome <A href="http://del.icio.us/regine#2008-04-17">WMMNA</A>.
