The captive lightning

What do you think is it possible to stop a moment? And the artist Burt Nikman! Amazing work makes Bert Nikman their hands. So I can't understand what this product is, whether a beautiful souvenir in the gift, whether a work of art.


The process of establishing the following: the artist uses a particle accelerator, with which burns in the piece of acrylic patterns in the form of a real natural lightning. Electrons burn inside of acrylic filamentary voids.


After the discharge of several million volts in acrylic remains a characteristic pattern – this form of the distribution of charge is named in honor of the discoverer of Lichtenberg (Lichtenberg), who first described it in 1777. Such outbreaks we see in the sky, but they are fleeting, but the work of the masters will forever remain in the acrylic.






The finished product is very beautiful, elegant and it seems that they inside stopped time, so as to see the lightning in the sky, this momentary flash, and over to admire it and look at it from all sides, is quite another. The author called his project "Captive lightning". Indeed she is forever "captivated" and exit from there she did not find. Work popular, the masters know and respect.
