“…The ferrofluid lifts up from a plate, then creates a flowerlike shape balancing the wobbling spikes in between the two spaces. She created several installations, among others: Morpho Towers -Two Standing Spirals consisting of two ferrofluid sculptures that move with the music [5]. Qi Jie gave several workshops, teaching interested people how to make use of SMA and paper [13], it is also possible to find more contributions from her and her group online, for example how to make a flapping origami crane [12].…”

It is not easy for a growing artist to find his poetry. Smart materials could be an answer for those who are looking for new forms of art. Smart Material Interfaces (SMI) define a new interaction paradigm based on dynamic modifications of the innovative materials' properties. SMI can be applied in different domains and used for different purposes; functional, communicative and creative.In this paper we focus on experimenting in the art and creative communication domain. In particular we describe the results of a workshop held with 15 students of the Fine Arts Academy in Venice who learned how to make and program SMI and took advantage of their new skills to design a variety of interesting creative artifacts.

“…The representative example of a liquid interface is the kinetic art of Sachiko Kodama [9], which uses a ferrofluid (magnetic fluid) controlled by an electromagnet. Liquid interface [10] also uses a ferrofluid and can be connected to an interactive display.…”

In this paper, we introduce a design for an electronic toy that is variable in shape and flexibility by using a structural object called "Ninja Track," which is a belt-shaped object that consists of ABS parts hinged both longitudinally and transversely. When lying flat, Ninja Track is adequately flexible. When the user folds Ninja Track at the longitudinal hinges, it loses its flexibility and becomes a rigid stick. We have created two types of electronic toys as applications of this structure. During the toy prototyping process, we discovered five interactional considerations for Ninja Track. Whilst showing toys at public exhibitions over a period of two weeks, we discovered a few problems with Ninja Track, and we have implemented solutions to these problems.
