Morpho Towers

'Morpho Towers - Two Standing Spirals' is an installation that consists of two ferrofluid sculptures that move synthetically to music. The two spiral towers stand on a large plate that holds ferrofluid (a liquid that becomes strongly polarised in the presence of a magnetic field).

When the music starts, the magnetic field around the tower is strengthened. Spikes of ferrofluid are born from the bottom plate and move up, trembling and rotating around the edge of the iron spiral.
