Entropy is the randomness of the microscopic constituents of a thermodynamic system, and a measure of the loss of information in a transmitted signal or message. It is heat death, it is inevitable social decline and degeneration- in a closed system, it is accountable chaos. 2000 pictures compose this piece- that is, 2000 perfect different water drops into which we mapped an animation. Droplets that behave and look strangely similar at the stage of less entropy, and become more disordely as they splash.

We've seen amazing things shot through falling drops of water before. But this is something different. Synchronizing 2,000 shots through falling drops of water to create this stop-motion promo for IdN Magazine is truly outstanding.

The video, “Entropy”, was created by Physalia.

They built a custom Arduino-based system to capture each drop in precisely the right spot.

The early tests and making-of video shed a lot of light on the amazing process.
