MATTER — Transformations seen in crystallization | Phenomena (4K)

The shape of matter is temporary. Under changing temperatures, a saltwater mixture transforms from liquid into a kaleidoscope of crystals. Subscribe to ABC Science YouTube 👉 Exploring the way temperatures can change the shape of matter. A variety of salts are mixed into water, creating a supersaturated solution. First boiled, then poured over a glass plate where it begins to rapidly cool and evaporate. In this new and cooler environment, the solution begins to solidify, transforming into crystals. Using a variety of techniques such as slow-motion, macro cinematography, and timelapse photography shot over hours. Throughout weeks of experimenting, and teaming up with visual artist Emme Orbach who specialises in crystal work, we captured stunning vision and colours that visualize the formation of matter. Phenomena fuses art and science together to explore naturally occurring patterns, and the fundamental forces of nature that create them, to take us on an ambitious, innovative, and psychedelic journey through the fabric of the universe. Filmmaker Josef Gatti recreates nine ‘phenomena’ to produce mesmerizing art films, which are then paired with an original music score by Kim Moyes from Australian dance music duo The Presets. #PhenomenaTV Stream the 28 minute immersive experience on ABC iview: Subscribe: Like: Follow: --------------------------------------------------------------- This is an official Australian Broadcasting Corporation YouTube channel.
