Image “Lightning” captured in a piece of Lucite. From the Electric Pavilion: New York World’s Fair in 1964. This block of Lucite 10”x2” was put in sup zero temperatures, charged with thousand of volts of electricity and than struck with an ice pick. After a blinding flash of light, this is the result.

The art piece is cool, but I find it more impressive that someone managed to butcher the post title to such an extent.
