Sachiko Kodama "Morpho Tower" Kinetic Sculpture
From the exhibition Sculpture in Motion at the Atlanta Botanical Garden on view through October 2008 and curated by Brigitte Micmacker from Sculpturesite Gallery. Courtesy the Curator's commentary: "Morpho Tower, Sachiko Kodama's mesmerizing synthesis of science, technology and art rises like an eccentric, thorny, botanical form within a world of most peculiar botanical forms housed in the Desert House of the Fuqua Conservatory. Employing electromagnets and magnetically-charged microfine particles suspended in oil set in motion through a computer controller, Kodama, who is associate professor at Tokyo's University of Electro-Communications, explores an entirely new territory where the seductive glossy black liquid seems to turn into rows of solid spikes impeccably organized around a spiraling cone, only to dissolve abruptly into obvious liquidity once again --a rhythmic flow and ebb, an alchemic dance where the artist playfully communicates basic principles of physics without elucidating them."
