       magnetic and metal powder 

titles for FOTB were created by Nando Costa through the use of macro motion pictures and materials with magnetic properties.The choice of materials was driven by the desire to graphically represent the concepts of attraction and repulsion. The idea that graphic artists of all sorts attend events such as FOTB because they are inspired and therefore attracted to each other's work, while at the same time often competing in the same fields as peers, which represents repulsion factor.

Microturbines - Santa Rosa Junior College Gallery - 2009

An array of 1008 small, extruded acrylic turbines that spin in the wind. 
The translucent white plastic surfaces capture light and shadow as the 
turbines respond to the passing breezes. Even though each turbine is 
free to spin independently, adjacent turbines sometimes align into 
organized patterns.

Articulated Cloud - Pittsburgh Children’s Museum. 2004

Composed of thousands of translucent, white plastic squares that move 
in the wind, the artwork is intended to suggest that the building has been 
enveloped by a digitized cloud. The optical qualities of the skin change 
dramatically with the weather and the time of day. The articulated skin is 
supported by an aluminum space frame so it appears to float in front of the 
building. The design evolved through a collaboration with the architects, 
Koning / Eizenberg.
