Douglas E. Welch<p>Watching Blobs of Paint Move to Chopin Is Oddly Soothing via Mental Floss [Shared]</p><p>The video, which was shared by&nbsp;Colossal, comes from French visual artist Thomas Blanchard. Set to Chopin’s Nocturne Op., 9 No. 2 (E Flat Major), it features iridescent blobs swirling through seas of glittery colors. The mesmerizing visuals are a perfect match for the soothing piano melody. If you need to turn off your brain for four and half minutes, this short film acts as the perfect mental refresher.&nbsp;</p><p>Though it could easily be mistaken for high-quality CGI,&nbsp;Blanchard’s art&nbsp;is 100 percent practical. To make the trippy visuals in this video, he filmed paint, oil, and liquid soap interacting with each other. His work often zooms in on small scenes.</p><p><a href="https://welchwrite.com/blog/2025/02/28/watching-blobs-of-paint-move-to-chopin-is-oddly-soothing-via-mental-floss-shared/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">welchwrite.com/blog/2025/02/28</span><span class="invisible">/watching-blobs-of-paint-move-to-chopin-is-oddly-soothing-via-mental-floss-shared/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/video" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>video</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/practical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>practical</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/artwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>artwork</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/shared" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shared</span></a></p>
