METALLIC-SHINY-SPIKY-FLUID? FO' SERIOUS?



WOW!!!!! :D This is SOOO COOOLLLL!!!!! What the **** is this -.-?

To all the people who dont know what this 'thing' is, let me tell you ^^

Its a metallic black water fountain. Isnt it obvious? 

Nah im just bullshyt-ing around. Its called a Morpho Tower.

What is a Morpho Tower?

a) A tower made up of 'morpho fluid'
b)A black water fountain
c)A tower called Morpho

Answer is: None of the above

Why? Cuz y'all too stupid to know what it means ^^ 

Just Kiddin :X

Morpho Tower is a:

-'Ferrofluid structure'


What is Ferrofluid?
  •  a liquid which becomes strongly polarised in the presence of a magnetic field
  •  made up of tiny magnetic fragments of iron suspended in oil 

Lets cut the crap and skip to the real deal, Morpho Tower is created by Sachiko Kodama in collaboration with Yasushi Miyajima. It consists of two ferrofluid sculptures that are designed to stand in a platter of ferrofluid and move "synthetically to music," which translates into a magnetic field being generated by sound and creating autonomous art.

These towers react by attracting "spikes of ferrofluid" from the bottom-up, which can mold itself and transform into a variety of stunning shapes. The spikes are designed to rotate around the edge of the spiral cone depending on the strength of the magnetic field. By utilizing time series metadata ingrained in the music, designers can create more dramatic scenes on the towers' sides.
