Watching Blobs of Paint Move to Chopin Is Oddly Soothing via Mental Floss [Shared]
The video, which was shared by Colossal, comes from French visual artist Thomas Blanchard. Set to Chopin’s Nocturne Op., 9 No. 2 (E Flat Major), it features iridescent blobs swirling through seas of glittery colors. The mesmerizing visuals are a perfect match for the soothing piano melody. If you need to turn off your brain for four and half minutes, this short film acts as the perfect mental refresher.
Though it could easily be mistaken for high-quality CGI, Blanchard’s art is 100 percent practical. To make the trippy visuals in this video, he filmed paint, oil, and liquid soap interacting with each other. His work often zooms in on small scenes.
