Magnetic recordings

Magnetic Recordings explores the possibility of embedding a seemingly invisible layer of information in the image, without changing the visible aspect of it, just the magnetic polarities of the paint itself. This information can then be read and rerecorded, and it remains permanently embedded as long as you don't overwrite it.

For this task, I have developed a device, a sort of "magnetic brush" that enables the storage of information, including audio message fragments, within black paint as long as it contains "Mars black" pigment due to its magnetic properties. Mars black (iron oxide black) is one of the most common and widely used black pigments in artistic practice.
