Very cool, if you go to the official site www.casualprofanity.com the guy who made it also made a skirt that could be worn that coloured liquid flowed through, also on the same page is a list of parts to make your own sculpture.

He has a lot of parts and in the video for one second you see a huge platform of parts just to pump the liquid. That confuses me as I would assume that one could just go to a store and buy an off the shelf pump, like an aquarium pump and use that, no ?

I'm pretty sure that IS just a small water pump, plus something to control the color mixing and air bubbles. the sculpture is just really small. That's probably 1/8 inch hose its made of. Hard to tell the scale in most of it but check out the size of the jar next to it at 1:03

Reminds me a little of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqS0e9h06_o) Thai glassblower, who fills his little tube sculpture with different colored water.
