Arcangelo Sassolino’s Diplomazija Astuta uses induction to liquify 400 pounds of steel daily, in a reference to a painting by the chiaroscuro master Caravaggio. Here’s more from ArtNet News:
A large metal armature stands inside the pavilion, concealing a computer-programmed system that feeds steel coils into the induction machine. The installation is inspired by Caravaggio’s altarpiece, The Beheading of St. John the Baptist (1608), at St. John’s Co-Cathedral in Valletta, Malta, and reflects the artist’s famed mastery of dramatic lighting.
