Psychedelic Art Born From Science – Fabian Oefner (Video)

Psychedelic Science Art

Fabian Oefner brings together the world of science and art to create psychedelic images. 

Ted Talks are refreshing because of the passion exhibited by the talkers. Psychedelic science art is born from taking, sometimes hazardous materials and creating chemical reactions which Fabian Oefner catches through his cameras.

Psychedelic Science Art -Fabian Oefner Ted Talk

Swiss artist and photographer Fabian Oefner is on a mission to make eye-catching art from everyday science. In this charming talk, he shows off some recent psychedelic images, including photographs of crystals as they interact with soundwaves.

And, in a live demo, he shows what really happens when you mix paint with magnetic liquid–or when you set fire to whiskey.
