Crowded Plasma, Jade

Plasma and lightning: 11 strands radiate from a glowing hub; each is a curve pushed sideways by four octaves of noise that slides over time, lit in three bands from a white-hot core to a cool halo.

Hearted by 1 person in the Gallery.

Good to know

  • In a plasma globe a noble gas at low pressure sits around a high-frequency electrode; the filaments are glowing discharge that reaches for the glass, which your hand touches.

In art

  • At the Chicago exposition of 1893 Nikola Tesla lit gas-filled tubes without wires, and the crowds took it for magic.

Made with Plasma and lightning.
