Tales of Entropy

Description:

Tales of Entropy stages the irresistible beauty and the poetry of an organic compound changing its physical state in a thermal gradient, under polarized light. As the thermodynamic conditions evolve, the compound gradually evolves from crystal, to liquid-crystal, to liquid, before recrystallisation and re- orientations, displaying striking color patterns with a profound dramatic effect. The choreography of matter on this video happens live over the space of 1mm of the entire sample.

Conception and realisation: Guillaume Schweicher, Nicolas Klimis

Music : First iteration, Juanita | Second iteration, Boho Strings | Third iteration, Romeo Poirier

Coproduced by the Laboratoire de Chimie des Polymères (ULB)
