- it is mainly two Ferrofluid sculptures that moves synthetically to music
- it enables artist to create dynamic sculptures with fluid materials
- contain one electromagnet, and an iron core extended and sculptured
- the sculptured surface was mainly made up of electronic NC lathe
- movement of spikes controlled dynamically on surface by adjusting the power of electromagnet
- shape of the iron body designed as helical so that the fluid can move to the top when magnetic field is strong enough
- when there is no magnetic field, tower appears simple
- large or small spirals depending on how strong is the magnetic field
- activate analogue physical phenomena, precisely by utilizing digital metadata
- the metadata consist of musical information, such as beat position, chord progression, and melody block information, and Ferrofluid control information such as, DC blast voltage and AC pattern
- time when the protuberance of the spike reaches its maximum size is coincident with the beat of music
- each tower's surface pulsates, like one creature calling to the other
- fluid moves synthetically with music, as it breathes, and the condition of the fluid's surface emerges as autonomous and complex
- harmonize several opposing properties such as hardness (iron) / softness (fluid) and freedom (desire for
design) / restriction (natural powers such as gravity)
Ferrofluida stable colloidal suspension of sub-domain magnetic particles in a liquid carrier. The particles, which have an average size of about 100Å (10 nm), are coated with a stabilizing dispersing agent (surfactant) which prevents particle agglomeration even when a strong magnetic field gradient is applied to the Ferrofluid. The surfactant must be matched to the carrier type and must overcome the attractive Van der Waals and magnetic forces between the particles. The colloid and thermal stabilities, crucial to many applications, are greatly influenced by the choice of the surfactant. A typical Ferrofluid may contain by volume 5% magnetic solid, 10% surfactant and 85% carrier.
Ferrofluid is designed as a component of a device and therefore it must meet specific performance objectives of the device. The selection of Ferrofluid depends on many factors such as environments, operating life, etc.
The performance and operating life of a product that uses Ferrofluid can be significantly affected by the characteristics of the Ferrofluid. From Ferrofluid with low evaporation rate or vapor pressure to Ferrofluid with viscosity-optimized products, the characteristics of Ferrofluid can dramatically shape the capabilities of the end product.
Thermal conductivity of a Ferrofluid depends linearly on the solid loading. Fluorocarbon based Ferrofluid have the lowest thermal conductivity of all commercial Ferrofluid, therefore they are the least desirable materials for heat transfer applications.
In devices, Ferrofluid come in contact with a wide variety of materials. It is necessary to ensure that Ferrofluid are chemically compatible with these materials. Furthermore, Ferrofluid may be in contact with various types of plastics and plating materials. The surface morphology can also affect the behavior of the fluid.
Additionally, Ferrofluid may be expected to perform at temperature of 150°C continuously or 200°C intermittently, in winter conditions (-20°C) and space environments (-55°C). They may also be required to withstand nuclear radiation without breakdown.
..here's a clearer video or picture, of what is a the action of magnet on Ferrofluid?

why not?
Sachiko Kodama did..
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ6SB4JvJoU&feature=related)
The Japanese female artist Sachiko Kodama was born in 1970. As a child she spent a lot of time in the southernmost part of Japan. This area is rich in tropical flowers and plants, edged by the sea, and washed with warm rain. Sachiko loved art and literature from an early age, but also had a strong interest in science. After Graduating Physics course in the Faculty of Science at Hokkaido University, In 1993, Sachiko matriculated in the Fine Arts Department at the University of Tsukuba, studying Plastic Art and Mixed Media. Then she completed Master's and Doctoral Program in Art and Design at the University of Tsukuba. She studied Computer and Holography Art in her doctoral research.
In 2000, Sachiko began work on a Ferrofluid art project that she named "Protrude, Flow". The dynamic movement of liquids is the theme of this project. Kodama is currently an associate professor at University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo. Her work has been exhibited at Ars Electronica Center /Linz, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Wexner Center for the Arts/Columbus, Skirball Cultural Center /Los Angeles, Science Museum/ Tokyo, The National Art Center/Tokyo.

..do you think this sculpture or structure is able but designed as a building?
wanna know how, ask me! :D
why?
cause it's easier to explain than to type.
does it make sense?
we shall soon find out..!

Awesome!!
this is beyond me :) ... cannot figure it out :)
