Ameisenkönigin (geregelter zufall)

ॐ-तत्सदिति-निर्देशो...

Another work from Hans Polterauer. What initially appears to be a swarm of insects darting and looping about without ever alighting on one spot turns out, upon closer inspection, to be an array of wires responding to the attractive force of a circling magnet. A uniformly moving magnet produces seemingly chaotic fluctuations: amidst the disarray, order prevails with the wires describing a circle.
