This is the interaction of ferrofluid and ink under a macro lens. Ferrofluid was actually invented by NASA in 1963 and is a truly amazing liquid composed of nano ferromagnetic parcicles (iron, basically) that behave in a certain way when under a magnetic field.
Nerdiness apart, the point being is that it's really a fun and amazing liquid to play with. I'm still exploring its behavious with other liquids. Here in this photo it's just a mix with white ink.
I'm getting major H. R. Giger vibes from this one. What soundtrack would you add? I just hear NIN when I look at it.
Real size around 3mm.
