Digital Art - Ferrofluids

The weekly topic of “Technology meets art” is quite… unusual. Ferrofluid technology is extremely advanced: nanoscale ferromagnetics in synthetic oil controlled by magnetic field.


Ok, I stop here. Just take the time to look to the video….



The installation "Morpho Towers -- Two Standing Spirals" (2007) was developed by the Japanese artist Sachiko Kodama in her project on “dynamic movement of the fluid”.


This project is considered as one of the most innovative “digital art” experimentation. She received several awards.

Sachiko Kodama is currently an associate professor at University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo.


From my own perspective, new technologies, such as Ferrofluids,, give to the digital art a new dimension and open unlimited doors to creativity and beauty.


I will continue to keep you in touch on what I discover in this fabulous space “technology meets art”.


That’s all for this week folks! Bye..
