The Wired NextFest takes place this week at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The two-day technology conference features cutting-edge innovations and cool inventions.
An art project called Morpho Towers from Tokyo-based artist and physicist Sachiko Kodama, is pictured in the background to the left. The art installation consists of two metal spirals on a plate, which is filled with a magnetic liquid saturated with iron particles. The so-called ferrofluid creeps up the tower whenever music is played (stereo sound waves cause the oil to move), creating an organic fluid sculpture that lights up in the dark.
