For this public art commission, I filmed electrical streams from Tesla coils and the Van de Graaff generator at the Museum of Science, Boston. I slowed and layered them, so the lightning-like electrostatic discharges appear to be shooting through, and trapped within, the marquee's borders.

Commissioned by Boston Cyberarts and the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority.
