Really cool to see this here. I always loved these in movies. There are a bunch of really interesting artists making use of ink ink liquid, oils, chemical reactions etc that create beautiful abstract pieces. Fitting for HN, Roman De Giuli even creates his own machines. Check out Emitter https://youtu.be/VMd608zCEWc

I have a couple of friends really into paint pouring, and I've tried to make interesting videos of it in the past. It never comes out well because they are still trying to make a finished art piece instead of making a video art piece. I feel like Roman here decided the video was the art. The spillage at the end of one of these shoots must be pretty interesting as well. The pooled paint will retain the patterns in a compressed form, but the paint will be pretty thick that when dried becomes an interesting sculpture in itself. I'd love to see some of those.
