Massive collaboration with @roddquinn at @msichicago. A few employees at the #MuseumofScienceandIndustry in #Chicago invited us out to create a piece before one of their after hours events. It was humorous to me coming out to create here immediately after getting out of court for a vandalism charge that got dropped. Rodd and I had talked about doing a piece with #NikolaTesla but upon agreeing to do this area we both new this was the piece! We didn't even realize how perfect of a choice it was until these ladies you see in the picture told us about #Tesla and the #1893WorldsFair Here's what I found about it on Wikipedia: "Part of the space occupied by the Westinghouse Company was devoted to demonstrations of electrical devices developed by Nikola Tesla including a two-phase induction motor, and generators to power the system. Tesla demonstrated a series of electrical effects, some which were in previous lectures performed in America and Europe. These included his "Egg of Columbus", a metal egg that spun on a disk in a demonstraton of an electric motor’s rotating magnetic field, and a high-voltage, high-frequency alternating current demonstration where a nearby coil lit a wireless gas-discharge lamp held in his hand." After creating the art we went to a Museum of Art & Science After Hours event...felt like I barely scratched the surface & just made me want to go back again to have a better look. Got several photos from that experience that I'll eventually upload. Thank you for the opportunity @pwitty !
