This is a small prototype for a fluid dress that I showed at the 2009 Maker Faire in San Mateo.

I think I have produced compelling evidence that I'm a hack videographer, graphic designer, audio and lighting technician, and fiber artist.
I agree it should be much shorter; I fell in love with the songs first and tried to work within them, which is a bad idea, although I'm somewhat pleased I was able to do all of this in a (long) night.
EDIT: I followed Eugenia's advice and trimmed the video in half from 6 minutes.
Sorry I missed your sculpture at Maker Faire yesterday. Saw your video this morning for the first time. Interesting idea to knit IV tubing, but the fluid thing really makes it pop!

The ultimate goal of the project is to translate this idea into a complete wearable outfit, so hopefully I can finish that and get it into a real, live fashion show.
Congrats on the show and great work!
Thanks! I changed the music for the Vimeo Awards. I'm really thankful for the Amazing Rolo's help.
You can find the original video & music on Youtube.
Did you try to inject color spaced by the same lenght or time ?
I think it should make (another) great repetitive effect, if every loop are regular...
Check the arduino, really easy to use.
Thanks for the comment. I will be using the Arduino to control my valves and some other things -- I agree, I think that will look great.
The music selection is just perfect. My favourite part is when that dark ink flows in at 0:52.
Thanks so much, I played around with highlighters and oil-based UV dyes (sold at auto shops, for leak inspection) in these tubes and really liked the effect.
I'd like to hear how your project goes, the ultrasonic mister and fluorescent fog sounds really interesting.
Maybe you two should bounce some ideas off each other ;0)
Thanks for the comment and, yes, I'm totally with you on that. Your idea has worked well with my work in larger size tubing, but the sculpture above uses very small tubing and thus is not able to incorporate any common oils (like mineral oil) because of the high viscosity.
I'm working on it though!
Edit: and maybe fill it with a fluid that glows in the dark :D

I absolutely love what you have done with this project the music is so fitting and it is just mesmerizing
Might require some careful planning & measurement since heavier fluids would sink back down quickly on dumping back into the reservoir, but I'm sure there's something there.....
Get in touch if you are interested.

Look up some OR equipment up and you might find some interesting things to modify like a manifold that would allow you to hook up and titrate multiple pigments to the same line.
Again, very nice idea....I look forward to seeing what more you can come up with.
On the flip side of the editing comment by Eugenia, I thought your editing was spot on in putting the focus on the piece of art as opposed to overly-fancy shots and angles. The piece itself would lose value if the viewer got distracted by the camerawork.
Fantastic though, and love the use of arduino.
And the music fits perfectly.
It must have been a bunch of work to build this sculpture...
Again, really outstanding sculpture.
"Red Raspberry Spread" is my favorite too!

very simple
very effective
well done!
i hope see more about you and your work
congratulations!!!
