Sachiko Kodama: When I Met This Material

While most visual artists prefer traditional materials such as oil, acrylic, bronze and ceramic, Tokyo-based SACHIKO KODAMA prefers FERROFLUIDS. Composed of magnetic nanoparticles, ferrofluids often contain high levels of iron and, as such, are deeply affected by and responsive to the presence of magnetic fields. While the NASA-developed ferrofluids are being used increasingly for commercial applications - on everything from compact disks to weight-responsive car suspension systems - Kodama is revolutionary in applying their widely dynamic qualities to the fine arts arena. Using a computer to manipulate electro-magnetic fields in the sculptures, Kodama coerces her stunning ferrfluid pieces to grow and disintegrate, flower and shed, and constantly reinvent themselves without the aid of animatronics or video wizardry.

I have been thinking about DIYing this myself my only prob is that i cant find a electro-magnetic controller can anyone help?

Would this technology be a basis of robot like T-1000 in the Terminator 2?

ive seen this before when dealing with magnets, they use this liquid to show how the magnetic field works i give this woman very little credit for simply using a spiral metal thing because thats all she did, this technology has been around, she just made it look cooler buy using a metal spike i could have thought of that especially if i was in her field and dealt with magnets and that metallic liquid

You're closed minded and ignorant.

TO those that wanted to touch it... it is composed of microscopic pieces of Iron (ferrous) suspended in oil. Touching it would result in a tattoo-like stain on the skin.
