Overview

Soap bubbles have the cyclical characteristic of liquid that once becomes bubbles and bursts, being reborn as bubbles again. Focusing on this characteristic, I created a work that manipulates bubbles generated from porous air stones through the magnetic force of robots placed below via an acrylic plate. The circular motion of the robots changes the position and speed of the air stones, which in turn changes the generation position and size of the bubbles. The perpetual circular motion symbolizes the circulation of matter, while the generation and disappearance of bubbles represents the transformation of form. By combining the physical properties of soap solution with robotic control, this work embodies the world of material transformation and circulation.
