Artists and scientists should be better friends. These natural enemies have so much to teach one another! Because when they do get together, stuff like this happens: Magnetic Movie. Filmmaking group Semiconductor (scientific name, there, artists) presents a four-minute long looping film about magnets, set at the NASA Space Sciences Laboratory housed at U.C. Berkeley. But it's not your boring BS academic production, it's a gorgeous, colorful, hyperactive, poetic investigation into the invisible force fields of the Earth, the Sun, and Mars.
