Fluid Dynamics

Have finally finished constructing the macinery for this piece and have given it a working title of Fluid Dynamics.

We have began building the machinery, will add pictures to this. I'm desperate to testit out, as soon as i have i will add more images. The machine itself is basicly a network of copper piping, which gets smaller towards the centre. All along the piping is holes for paint to come out of. There are 4 intake points on the outer parts of the network: 3 are for the paint, one is for water to mix the paint. The paint's flow is controlled by valves on each intake, so we can control how much of each colour enters the machine. The paint then mixes with the water so it becomes less viscous and then moves through the network, constantly dripping out of the distribution holes. As it move closer to the centre it mixes with the other colours, distributing a variety of different colours, untill it reaches the centre where it will most likely be a dirty brown colour.

I have attached 2 images,

the first is the network, the second is the intake funnels.

Please let me know what you think and any advice you may have about improving or exhibiting the piece would be greatly appreciated, just email me.
