While most visual artists prefer traditional materialssuch as oil, acrylic, bronze and ceramic, Tokyo-basedSACHIKO KODAMA prefers FERROFLUIDS. Composed ofmagnetic nanoparticles, ferrofluids often contain highlevels of iron and, as such, are deeply affected byand responsive to the presence of magnetic fields.While the NASA-developed ferrofluids are being usedincreasingly for commercial applications - oneverything from compact disks to weight-responsive carsuspension systems - Kodama is revolutionary inapplying their widely dynamic qualities to the finearts arena.Using a computer to manipulate electro-magnetic fieldsin the sculptures, Kodama coerces her stunningferrfluid pieces to grow and disintegrate, flower andshed, and constantly reinvent themselves without theaid of animatronics or video wizardry.

thank you ace, it always pisses me off when people discredit artists' work because it "looks" like something they "could do" but they didnt do it! and it's more than an aesthetic, there is always a concept, and an inspiration behind it as well.

You could have thought of it, but you didn't did you?

Would this technology be a basis of robot like T-1000 in the Terminator 2?

ive seen this beforewhen dealing with magnets, they use this liquid to show how the magnetic field worksi give this woman very little credit for simply using a spiral metal thingbecause thats all she did, this technology has been around, she just made it look cooler buy using a metal spikei could have thought of thatespecially if i was in her field and dealt with magnets and that metallic liquid

You're closed minded and ignorant.
