LICHTENBERG ART

DISCLAIMER: Do not try this at home. Serious injury or death can occur

In the late 1700's Georg Christoph Lichtenberg managed to study and duplicate the patterns found on victims skin who were struck by lightning. Since then many artists and scientists have been modifying the process to bring out and preserve these beautiful patterns. Because the process uses high voltage current many people have lost their lives attempting it.
