Their use of single electrode Neon and almost invisible wiring enables them to create large ethereal lightworks.&#8221;[1]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Spinning Shaft rotates to create the perception of a cylinder or a virtual image of light. As it turns at a constant speed, a neon without electrodes pulses on and off with varied timing. The rhythm and speed are determined by analogue electronics and programmed patterns that take approximately two minutes to<br \/>cycle. [&#8230;]The work offers the spectator many views; one can see a hollow light cylinder by its side as well as a view of the inside of this generated light tunnel.&#8221; [2]<\/p>\n<p>[1] <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sinalightworks.com\/\">http:\/\/www.sinalightworks.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[2] Edward A.
