Kamil Czapiga, also known as Cosmodernism, is a Polish artist whose creative adventure began in his adolescent years when he joined the local art school and later continued his artistic education at the Academy of Fine Arts of Katowice. Studying Graphic Design, he received a bachelor's degree from the illustration class of 2012 and began his career as an illustrator and tattoo artist, running a tattoo studio and creating original designs for clients from both Poland and abroad. In April 2023, Kamil Czapiga decided to focus exclusively on his Cosmodernism intermedia art project, comprised of abstract video art, photography, and original sound design. This project allows Kamil to explore personal abstract expression through micro and macro observations captured with a microscope and hand-made precision optics mechanisms, resulting in images that feel otherworldly, but are firmly rooted in real scientific experiments. Kamil uses various kinds of chemicals, dyes, objects, interesting reactions, both from the world of chemistry and physics, despite not having a scientific background, choosing to follow his own intuition and trial-and error method instead.
In addition to his strictly authorial work, his project is also based on various collaborations with other artists, musicians, institutions and brands, such as the European Space Agency and DTU.

Microloop_169 is built from macro-scale recordings (15–20 mm) of ferrofluid experiments, focusing on the formation of patterns shaped by magnetic control.
Colored inks and additional fluids are introduced to alter the behavior of the magnetic liquid. When a strong magnet is applied, the ferrofluid responds by forming evolving structures that shift, multiply, and reorganize across the surface. The patterns remain fluid and continuous, changing as the magnetic field is adjusted.
At this scale, the image reveals how subtle variations in force and composition influence the appearance of the liquid in real time. Everything visible is the result of direct physical interaction - real matter responding to an invisible field, recorded entirely in-camera.
The soundtrack, composed using a synthesizer, accompanies the visuals without dominating the focus on the material process.
Microloop_169 is part of the ongoing Microloops series, exploring how magnetic forces and fluid interactions generate complex visual behavior at macro scale.
