Totally Freaky Liquid Metal Moving Sculptures

Ferrofluid (magnetic fluid) sculptures by two Japanese artists that
move like something out of a science fiction movie. You have to watch
the video!

Ferrofluid is a very interesting material originally developed by
NASA it has now found itself been used for a whole range of devices
including dampers for controlling and stabilizing large building that
move around in the wind. Whats also amazing is that they have such
lovely visual qualities when magnetized.

The
term liquid architecture is used a lot in interactive architecture
based on the ideas of how architecture becomes animated by adding the
4th Dimension of Time. Sachiko
has taken this idea of liquid architecture more literally with these
stunning sculpture made from Ferrofluid which changes its state by the
introduction of electro-magnetic waves into the fuid turning it solid.

Words can’t describe so just enjoy this beautiful video
