Here follows some Flickr sets that exploit the aesthetic of liquid immiscibility both real and virtual:

Crashingslowly insinuates the musicality of immiscibility with his Jazz series, ‘Composition in G’ utilises time-based exposures to offer up a range of liquid galaxy formations.

Infostuka preliminates a generative project with some liquid sketches containing interplay between water, oil, ink, soy sauce and detergent. Microscopic biological cellular forms arise out of these quarter-edible interactions.

Deaxismundi virtualises the process with his blobs set, using emitters in VVVV, to exact some luminescent mercurial molten metals - computational alchemy in action.

Alh84001’s images tagged with ‘diffusion’ are constructed using ‘two rhodamines (red + yellow), a coumarin derivative (blue), and good old green fluorescein’. The resulting bifurcations and flow schematics were produced by taking macros of these ‘fluorescent dyes diffusing into solvent under UV illumination.
