Remedy
OK, so mix a bunch of Water, Vegetable Oil, Food Coloring and an Alka Seltzer. The result, is Bananas!
Sitting inside, lockdown. Where does my head go? Rather than allowing negativity a place to sleep I look in search of creative projects to employ. I'd seen a few home videos of folks documenting the simple idea of introducing Alka Seltzer into a mixture of water, vegetable oil and food coloring. What results is a riot of chemical reactions that casts the mind back to the Lava Lamps of the 60's. Man, am I showing my age here? I'd also been looking for a project with which to have a bash at sound engineering with, that is the adding of sound to actions to create greater impact. And this was it.
Thus I came up with RELAX, a short video looking into the wild reaction when placing a stomachache remedy tablet into a mixture of liquids with differing densities. Take a pew for a few moments and check it out. Now what were you saying about us oldies? Good times!
