Zurich-based designers Maria Smigielska and Pierre Cutellic have created Proteus, an analog digital interactive display currently on exhibition at Ars Electronica Center in Linz, Austria. The table features 92 dishes containing ferrofluid, which can be manipulated to create patterns according to the way you move your face. This project was supported by Creative Robotics UfG Linz, Kuka and Robots in Architecture.
