What Is This ?!
It's a Durian ??
ABSOLUTELY NOT !! =.=''Let's check it out...
=)This actually called “Morpho Towers--Two Standing Spirals”.It is an installation that consists of two ferrofluid sculptures that moves synthetically to music. The two spiral towers stand on a large plate that hold ferrofluid.
What is ferrofluid ??
This is a liquid called FerroFluid. What you are looking at is a 3-D representation of a magnetic field revealed by this magnetic fluid. To get a really good look at this, check out this Google Video of sculpture with Ferrofluid.
The fluid is basically made up of very small (nano-small) particles of ferromagnetic material. Ferromagnetic items are the same type of magnets you would find on your refrigerator, except these are obviously much smaller. They are usually suspended in water, and something interesting is that although they are a common type of magnet, they do not retain their magnatism on their own, only when an external magnatism is applied. That is what gives them the ability to display the external magnetic field so well.
Who creates this amazing Art creature ??
is Sachiko Kodama !!
Sachiko Kodama she is the creator of this liquid creature. The present-day she is living in Tokyo and working in the University of Electro-Comunications. She is giving her creature name as “Morpho Tower”. Eight different works were made in her project and this is her newest of the “Morpho Tower” series.
Samuel Freeman the director of Patricia Faure Gallery said”It’s looking absolutely fantastic, I don’t know what I exacly what to said but it’s just looking so fantastic.”
Sachiko Kodama said she met this material when she was studying Computer Graphic and Holography in the Universty of Tsukuba. She said again when she first time met this material she was so amazed by it and then she thought she could make a new style of art and now as we knonwn as “Morpho Tower.”
