GLOW Eindhoven 2016 featured “Exploding Wire”, a light artwork by Ivo Schoofs and studenten TU/e in Eindhoven.
Lightning is an awe-inspiring phenomenon. Fabulously high electrical currents in the air trigger an explosive thunder and a lightning bolt of many kilometres. Light artists Ivo Schoofs was the initiator of this impressive project and has been involved ever since.
