"Morpho Tower"

Morpho morpho Tower. I wonder what is it? Well. At first i saw it i was like "wow! Thats so


amazing!" Haha. Then i went and google it whole night and i found out that it actually follows the


groove of the musics! Haha. So, there's just something irresistible about random objects that get


down to surrounding beats, and the Morpho Towers: Two Standing Spirals installation is quite


the eye-catcher indeed. The pair of ferrofluid sculptures were deigned to stand in a platter of


ferrofluid and move "synthetically to music," which translates into a magnetic field being


generated by sound and creating autonomous art. Subsequently, the towers react by attracting


"spikes of ferrofluid" from the bottom-up, which can mold itself and transform into a variety of


stunning shapes. The spikes themselves are designed to "rotate around the edge of the spiral


cone, becoming large or small depending on the strength of the magnetic field," and by utilizing


time series metadata ingrained in the music, the designers can create (and control) more


dramatic scenes on the towers' sides. So if you're interested in what a magnetic Christmas tree


might look like, be sure to take a peek after the jump for the artwork in motion.
