Some things are better left unexplained. I choose to do that here because I have no idea what Kim Pimmel is on about.
I combined everyday soap bubbles with exotic ferrofluid liquid to create an eerie tale, using macro lenses and time lapse techniques. Black ferrofluid and dye race through bubble structures, drawn through by the invisible forces of capillary action and magnetism.
Have a look at his oddly attractive time-lapse video, Compressed 02.
Find another of Kimmel’s time-lapse videos after the jump.
Compressed 01: Ferrous printer toner particles floating on the surface of water are attracted by a magnet and align to the invisible magnetic field around them. The patterns and motions that result are strangely ordered and organized.
