Neon Pendulum

Date: 2021

Medium: Static Electricity, Sound, and Light Sculpture

Materials: Neon Tube, found materials, custom electronics

Dimensions: 50cm x 33cm x 8cm

Electric charges cause a tiny ball and chain to swing, giving just enough of a spark to light an old neon tube. The sound of sparks and metal clinking is subtle and repetitive but never the same twice.
