Image Generation Survey: Magnetics

Three exercises in manual, mechanical and electronic imaging by magnetics are presented. The exercises show how, with nothing more than some magnetic copier toner, a few magnets and some paper, one can create powerful images simply and manually. With a little mechanical assistance in the form of a magnetic brush or roller, the process can be refined; and with the addition of an electronic copier that has a magnetic toner roller, even more complexity can be built into the image-making process.
