Ferienne

Your daily “wow” video.

Afiq Omar is back with another stunning crossover of physics and art. His previous work Ferroux used ferrofluids and other chemicals to create dynamic visual effects, haunting and exotic.

This latest video, Ferienne, uses more of those ferrofluids, taken to another level of visual complexity (and a pretty nice beat to boot). The shapes you see here are like peering into the invisible, using the ferrofluids to reveal the shapes of unseen magnetic fields. These are forms that we could never create in any other way, and are so random that each one may never be seen again.

Previously: At this rate ferrofluids are going to become my favorite thing on the internet. Don’t miss these dancing spires of “liquid wow” from a few weeks ago (plus more on the science of ferrofluids).
