Art? Science? Who Cares! This is AMAZING!!!

youtube.com — While most visual artists prefer traditional materialssuch as oil, acrylic, bronze and ceramic, Tokyo-basedSACHIKO KODAMA prefers FERROFLUIDS. Composed ofmagnetic nanoparticles, ferrofluids often contain highlevels of iron and, as such, are deeply affected byand responsive to the presence of magnetic fields.While the NASA-developed...

Here is a how:to<a class="user" href="http://chemistry.about.com/od/demonstrationsexperiments/ss/liquidmagnet.htm">http://chemistry.about.com/od/demonstrationsexperi ...</a>The video I had on youtube has been removed :But I remember it dating back to 2001.Basically this brings me back to a discussion I have alot about how Nerds are more of an artist then half the "artists" out there. Sounds messy, but heres a perfect example.Erwin Redl, in 2006 did an LED installment, (which was stunning by the way) but none the less, nothing I haven't seen done by any student in engineer school. It was just a matrix of leds on a wall, and thats it. Now like I said, it was amazing, but done before. And by done before i mean, done by nerds in the most amazing ways...you see, if a nerd were to put a matrix of leds on a wall, he would make it interact with the person walking past it, so to say if i were to walk up to the array of leds, they would change colors as I got closer, by using various censors. Erwin Redl, simply just lit them. For so long ive seen artists take a creation by a nerd, simply modify it, then call it "art" instead of a "project" And this liquid is another prime example. This procedure is carried out by TONS of scientists, just none of them put it in a gallery.
