A ferrofluid is a liquid composed of nanoscale ferromagnetic, or ferrimagnetic, particles suspended in a carrier fluid (organic solvent or water).

In the presence of a magnetic field, the ferromagnetic particles become strongly polarised .

Several artists are using ferro fluids to build dynamic moving sculpture that always impressed the public during exhibitions.

A sublime example of this art is the work and research of the Japanese female artist Sachiko Kodama:

Sachiko began work on a ferrofluid art project since 2000, under the name of "Protrude, Flow". The theme of this project is the dynamic movement of liquids . Kodama is currently an associate professor at University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo.

Her work has already been exhibited at:
