But functional energy art has no trade-off.
In this neon sculpture judge it independently as abstract art, good or bad or somewhere in between. In this state it is art for art's sake.
However the sculpture undergoes a continuous unseen metamorphoses as the multi-color light from the neon tubes recombine into white light after impacting on any and all objects in the immediate vicinity except on those objects that are mirrors or made of smooth and highly polished materials.
Walls, floors, ceilings, china, armoires, books, food, children, adults, dogs, cats, paintings, curtains, objects d'art, bric-a-brac, sheets, pillows, blankets, sofas all bathed in probably the most functional light ever conceived by man.
The resultant white light illuminates the space and everything in it with no loss in energy efficiency. Five primary color neon tubes produce exactly the same amount of white light in recombination as five white fluorescent tubes of the same wattage.
Further, by controlling the voltage and thus the intensity of each color, white light of varying spectrum curves are produced such as fluorescent, incandescent, sunlight, etc., all from one light source, something that has never been done before.
