Visual Candy Floss

I just got my mind blown. 

This video is done by Afiq Omar.
"Second installation of my ongoing series focused on analog visual effects, understanding fluid dynamics, magnetism & natural invisible forces. This time around I experimented with mixing tiny portions of ferrofluid & other chemicals, soap, alcohol, milk etc. Not for the trypophobic for sure." - Afiq Omar


There are 3 videos in this series so far. Check the other two out as well. Very pretty.
(Thanks, Uzair)

Also, check out this other video (I came across through even*cleveland) of an experiment on how frequency (Hz) manipulates the axons (part of a neuron/nerve cell) which affects the muscles in the chromatophores of a squid. Obviously I don't understand the science behind this too well. All I know is that it's super cool because this is really happening, in a living thing. It's extra awesome because the song chosen is Cypress Hill's 'Insane in the Membrane'; hence the cool title. More info right here.



peace & love
