You may heard of morpho butterfly previously, but what about morpho towers?

According to the defination given by the dictionary, the word morpho is defined by a combining form meaning "form, structure".
Morpho tower, which is also called The Two Standing Spirals, conceptualized as an "organic tower" is an installation that consists of two ferrofluid sculptures that moves synthetically to music.
Ever heard of a mechanical dancer?
Seen a non-living object which is able to dance and move when the music starts WITHOUT the help of a living object.
Morpho tower is able to do that! The key point to the dancing is due to the ferrofluid, the new technique "ferrofluid sculpture". It enables the artist to create dynamic sculpture with fluid materials. When the music starts, magnetic field around the tower is strengthened. This enables the spikes of ferrofluid move up from the plate below.
At the same time, the spikes trembles and rotate around the edge of the iron spiral, morphing the body of the tower into a variety of textures ranging from soft fluid to minute moss, making it seems as if it is dancing, enabling it to tranform into several shapes and patterns such as fir tree, horn or sometimes even the Tower of Babel!
Wondering who is the absolute genius who thought of this creative art?
Sachiko Kodama is your answer!
As a Japanese female artist, Sachiko Kodama grew up surrounded by nature. She had long develop the love of art and literature, at the same time she had a strong interest in science. Therefore she is able to combine both of these elements into a brand new amazing tOwEr!!
This idea yet owns a great space for improvement. Especially in the field of entertainment with the fuse of information technology.
