Aside from the inventive Tesla automotives, many of us have seen videos of homemade tesla coils and other electrical inventions from YouTube.  Here are some really cool pics of Tesla lightning and some more about the artist and scientist:

A self-professed “child of science,” Frei originally worked on the mechanical side of electricity, before switching to the artistic realm as a lighting designer. Now his works blend engineering craft and an artist’s eye, a hybrid method that helps ensure his camera captures striking images without collapsing at the hands of high voltages. In addition to the Tesla coil shots, Frei has fashioned miniature wool clouds. Some produce miniature lightning, while others glow with embedded LEDs.

Let’s check out more of the pics and a cool video on page 2
