Rubbish Joke.....
Magic Morpho Towers -- Two Standing Spiral !
The Video Producer and the Member:
Sachiko Kodama "Morpho Towers -- Two Standing Spirals" (2007)
Collaborator: Yasushi Miyajima (Sony CSL)
Special Thanks:Satoru Saito, Kingo Arakawa, Takeshi Aoki, Osamu Sumiya(UEC), Megumi Sato
Music: Tetsuhide Hidaka, PIRAMI
The 1st time when i watch this video.... I ask my self ' What the Hell is this ? "
Slowly , i saw some liquid , keep spinning around the small tower , before that i thought is a small machine .....
But , when i clearly know what is that i was SHOCK ! How can liquid become a beautiful Arts ?
In the Video , The two spiral towers stand on a large plate that hold ferrofluid. When the music starts, the magnetic
field around the tower is strengthened. Spikes of ferrofluid are born from the bottom plate and move up, trembling and
rotating around the edge of the iron spiral.
The body of the tower was made by a new technique called “ferrofluid sculpture” that enables artists to create
dynamic sculptures with fluid materials. This technique uses one electromagnet, and its iron core is extended and
sculpted. The ferrofluid covers the sculpted surface of a three-dimensional iron shape that was made on an electronic
NC lathe. The movement of the spikes in the fluid is controlled dynamically on the surface by adjusting the power of
the electromagnet. The shape of the iron body is designed as helical so that the fluid can move to the top of the
helical tower when the magnetic field is strong enough.As there are two towers in the installation,
complicated expressions of surfaces become possible. Each tower’s surface pulsates, like one creature calling to
the other.
Fuild moves synthetically with the music, as if it breathes, and the condition of the fluid's surface emerges as
autonomous and complex. In this art we want to harmonize several opposing properties, such as hardness (iron) /
softness (fluid) and freedom (desire for design) / restriction (natural powers such as gravity). This work emerges as an
autonomous transformation of the material itself: sometimes it seems like a horn, sometimes a fir tree, and
sometimes even like the Tower of Babel.

INSTALLING A HUSBAND
Dear Technical Support Group,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as:
· Romance 9.5 and,
· Personal Attention 6.5,
and then installed undesirable programs such as:
·
· NFL 3.0 and,
· Golf Clubs 4.1.
Also Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
· Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.
What can I do?
Signed,
Desperate

DEAR DESPERATE,
First, keep in mind,
· Boyfriend 5.0 is an
· Husband 1.0 is an operating system.
Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme. html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
· If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1.
· Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta..
Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)
In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0-program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0.
And,
Good Luck!
