We have been working on the creation of media art, utilizing technologies. In this paper, we have focused on media art created based on the visualization of fluid behaviors. This area is named “fluid dynamics” and there has been a variety of research in this area. However, most of the visualization results of the fluid dynamics show only stable fluid behaviors and a lack of unstable or, in other words, unpredictable behaviors that would be significant in the creation of art. To create various unstable or unpredictable fluid behaviors, we have developed and introduced several new methods to control fluid behaviors and created two media arts called “Sound of Ikebana” and “Genesis”. Interestingly, people find and feel that there is Japanese beauty in these media arts, although they are created based on a natural phenomenon. This paper proposes the basic concept of media art based on the visualization of fluid dynamics and describes details of the methods that were developed by us to create unpredictable fluid dynamics-based phenomena. Also, we will discuss the relationship between Japanese beauty and physical phenomena represented by fluid dynamics.
Art has been at the center of human spiritual life, and therefore, art in the future space age is an exciting subject. The authors, led by an artist, have been creating video artwork "Sound of Ikebana," made by giving sound vibration to fluid and shooting it with a high-speed camera. To study its shape under zero gravity, we conducted the generation of the artwork under microgravity realized by parabolic flight. As the sound source, we used the birth cries of newborn babies, which also symbolize the future. We confirmed that a new shape that has never existed is created. Furthermore, a three-dimensional artwork was created by shooting the phenomenon from multiple viewpoints.
