A hilariously brilliant idea – film an entire episodic mini soap opera inside an IKEA store, where there are sets galore and plenty of props, under the noses of the employees.

I combined everyday soap bubbles with exotic ferrofluid liquid to create an eerie tale, using macro lenses and time lapse techniques. Black ferrofluid and dye race through bubble structures, drawn through by the invisible forces of capillary action and magnetism.

The structure of the second video reminds me of the massive concrete structure researchers created by excavating an anthill into which they’d poured cement.

Isao Hashimoto has made a video mapping out every nuclear explosion since 1945 and America is responsible for over half of the 2053 explosions from 1945-98. It starts a little slow but eventually the explosions become frequent enough that the video gains musical cadence. I like it; I tend to like light-handed treatments of heavy subject matter.
