Cumulonimbus was brought into existence by suspending 200 fluorescent tubes, each measuring 4 feet in length, in a structured arrangement resembling a storm cloud. This captivating sculpture resides serenely within a dimmed gallery space. As a visitor steps into this area, a timer is triggered, initiating an unforeseen sequence. The commanding 250,000-watt Tesla coil bursts into action for a brief yet startling period. The coil's activation produces a sudden and intense crackling buzz, engulfing the room in erratic illumination. The scent of ozone lightly wafts through the air. The Tesla coil's electromagnetic field interacts with the ions within the fluorescent tubes, effortlessly illuminating them without any physical connections. Just as abruptly as it commenced, the spectacle ceases, plunging the surroundings back into tranquil darkness.
