## Written at release



Visualizing the invisible forces of nature. A digital dance of attraction and resistance.



Using TouchDesigner POPs, I simulated the physics of magnetic fields, turning my hands into North and South poles via Leap Motion. 👋 It’s mesmerizing to watch the particle trails align and flow like digital iron filings in real-time.



The tension isn’t just visual—I mapped the distance between my hands to a Low Pass Filter. As the poles converge, the sound tightens, creating a sense of sonic elasticity and magnetic pull. 🔊⚡️

## What it is built on



This one is built on 4 shared modules: VisualFrame_251211, base_audio_251201, basic_3d_render_251209, work_capturer_251202. The six digits in a module name are the day it was made; the same module appearing across works is the lineage of this series.
