Magnet Poetry

Magnet Poetry is an interactive installation inspired by fridge magnets . People can type in words or rearrange the ones already on the screen to create phrases and can then take a snapshot with them. The “magnets” can be moved around by pinching the index and thumb  and they can be deleted by dragging them to your (open) mouth.

This installation was displayed in June 2024 at ITP NYU and the show resulted in a collection of images of poems, phrases and words together with the users that wrote and remixed them.
