Creation of Fluid Art “Sound of Ikebana” under Weightlessness Using Parabolic Flight

New art in the future space age is an exciting subject. The authors, led by an artist, have been creating video artwork “Sound of Ikebana,” made by applying sound vibration to fluid and shooting it with a high-speed camera. To study its shape under zero-G, we experimented with generating the artwork under weightlessness realized by parabolic flight. We confirmed that a new shape significantly different from the one created under normal gravity is created. Furthermore, a three-dimensional artwork was created by shooting the phenomenon from multiple viewpoints.
