Molecular Bubbles

A mercury-like fluid reacts to your shadow forming long chains and loops.   Although exotic, the action of the bubbles is surprisingly intuitive.  Connect the chains to the color generators and brilliant colors emerge from diffusion.

This piece was inspired by Calder's Mercury Fountain, which is at the Funcació Miró in Barcelona.
