sharp and pointy. :)

oh man, i was looking through my gmail and i found that mr. charles had sent me an email!
just remembered about the video and here i am working on it. :)
i first googled up what Morpho Towers - Stand Two means and POOF! google gave me an answer.
A Magnet under the Ferrofluid. Looks like the ferrofluid is all excited to see Mr. Magnet.

i was reading through and the first thing that got me clueless.
"FERROFLUID"
Ferrofluid, in layman terms, are fluids that get all excited when there is a magnetic field.
They were first used by Nasa to help them solve the problem of gravity. They act as magnetic forces to move their fuel. According to the video posted by Carolyn, this liquid has so much potential that it might even be used in the military for various purposes. :)
Back to Ferrofluid as an art. Well, i couldn't get much info on how the morpho towers all started but my wild guess would be that this bunch of scientist were experimenting this fluid and said to themselves, "HEY, this just might be the next IN thing" and there it all started.
Using various strength of magnetic waves to control the shape of the ferrofluid, you can actually make an art out of this ferrofluids just as seen in the morpho tower video.
In the case of the "Morpho Towers - Stand Two" video, the artist actually collaborated the magnetic field with the music to make the Morpho towers look really good.

okay, so i looked through the video once more, and was thinking to myself, this whole video is actually kinda creepy. it looks like its animated, but its actually not. :O
Anyone wants to try? :)
We should all jump to the chemistry lab and be scientist for a day. :D
