Sculpting liquid metal & more

• Sachiko Kodama & Yasushi Miyajima have created Morpho Towers, a beautiful ferrofluid sculpture–liquid metal that moves together with music.  Check out the amazing video. [Via]
• NY MTA employee Luis Torres makes sculptures using recycled Metrocards; here’s the photo set. [Via]
• I stumbled across the detonated (artificial) head of Ferdinand Marcos–kind of a post-apocalyptic Mt. Rushmore.  A little digging unearthed more info about its destruction, with before & after pics, via the BBC. [Via]
• Celebrating pulp & paper, the Canadian ’67 way. [Via]
• “Artist William Burge has found a way to artfully reattach all of the little pieces that have fallen off his 1968 Volkswagen Beetle,” says AutoBlog.  Check out the resulting VW “Phantoms” ultra-modified sculpture-Bug.
