Sachiko Kodama is a Japanese artist. She is best known for her artwork using ferrofluid, a dark colloidal suspension of magnetic nano-particles dispersed in solution. It remains strongly magnetic in its fluid. By controlling this black fluid with magnetic field, it can be shaped to create complex 3-dimensional forms. The shape will never be the same. People say Kodama's works are "liquid sculpture". Kodama started her ferrofluid art project “ Protrude,Flow” in 2000. Her first interactive art work “Protrude,Flow” using ferrofluid was created in collaboration with Minako Takeno in 2001." "Protrude, Flow"(2001) was exhibited at the SIGGRAPH 2001 Art Gallery〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.siggraph.org/artdesign/gallery/S01/40.html )〕 and it was one of the most popular works at the conference. The same piece was exhibited at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles and also at the Mood River exhibition held at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus. In 2010 Kodama exhibited “Morpho Tower” and “Breathing Chaos” at Cyber Arts Japan, a media art exhibition hosted by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo. Matthew Larking described her work as "Sachiko Kodama's small yet powerful piece "Morpho Tower" displays a seemingly organic life form, which is actually ferrofluid dynamically sculpted by electromagnets." She is now producing and showing many artworks in public and having a major impact on Media Art. ==Biography== Kodama was born in Kagoshima Prefecture and raised in the Shizuoka Prefecture. Kagoshima is the southwestern tip of the Kyushu island of Japan. It is a subtropical area. Its biological diversity greatly inspired her curiosity toward art and science. She graduated in Physics at the Department of Science at Hokkaido University in 1993 then shifting her focus, entered the University of Tsukuba's Graduate School of Art and Design. After holding a Ph.D in Art from the University of Tsukuba she has been teaching in the University of Electro-communications in Tokyo as an associate professor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sachiko Kodama」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
