Today In DIXD we got introduced to a project called Snoil run by Martin Frey an interaction designer from IDEO Munich. Frey used Ferrofluid which is a liquid that reacts to magnetic fields to create a very imaginative phyisical display.
Check it out;
Ferrofluid can be used over moving magnetically charged objects as well:
Ok so maybe i got a little overboard on the ferrofluid links but this lead me to think what other sculptures can be made liquids using magnets and vibrations.
Check out what happens when corn starch/ water mix is placed on a vibrating speaker:
Then I found this magically sounding object made using metal tubes which pick up the wind:
Im really tempted to give this a try now that Ive got hold of a welder, I wonder if smaller sculptures like wind chimes could be placed in trees to create some really unusual sounds?
