Yeah, of course.. maybe I should reconsider..

Everyone, stop fighting that it's a computer animation. It's real. SACHIKO KODAMA created a art piece like this. And I believe she was the first. Her piece was named "Protrude, Flow". Ferrofluid is the black liquid you see. Ferrofluid is a very interesting material originally developed by NASA it has now found itself been used for a whole range of devices including dampers for controlling and stabilizing large building that move around in the wind. In the Related videos find Toddler777's & watch

Nice animation.. kind of poetic.. relax..

Its actually real... Its ferromagnetic fluid with a couple of electromagnetic towers...

It is computer animation ! The way the towers and the waves move is typical, but it's a good work. Note at the end : it's not written "inventors, towers controllers, builders" or watever.. but « artists ».

Here's an idea, there are a lot of similar videos to the right. There's one of them where the artist is standing behind a similar structure, giving a demonstration. Behind him is a screen showing a closer view. It's clearly real in that video, so it is very possibly real in this one.

A hint: the actions of ferrofluids like this one do not correspond to our everyday intuitions of fluids. Our everyday intuitions are based on Newtonian fluids. A ferrofluid however, is non-Newtonian. Intuitions concerning ferrofluids therefore, are not reliable, and to make a prediction, you just have to do the math (good luck!).

Anyway, animation or not it is very artistic, so let's just treat it like that: enjoy it.
