Forms in Flux No.5

The "Forms in Flux " series was originated from an assumption of the artist: "If you throw yourself in a volcanic lava, how can you get your image after the mutation?" The problem that cannot be solved in this material world can only be achieved by scientific means. Combining with the computational fluid dynamics algorithms and the natural world parameters, scientists devised the software required by Zhan Wang which could simulate the magma flow in the digital world. Later, the artist scanned his own body and put the particle form into the same particle fluid field to realize random interaction and evolution. With the advancement of the core algorithm of fluid mechanics, endless morphological changes were generated. The selected form were fixed by 3D printing output. The artist used stainless steel for rubbings and polishing, fired it with a firelock, made it react with the chemical reagent and finally realized the sculptural presentation. The color of the fire hits the trace of human's Nirvana in the lava.
