Art begins with a lie
The separation is you plus me plus what we make
Look into lightbulb, blink, sun’s in your eye
From the Huntington science exhibit… a hundred historical light bulbs, including three test bulbs labeled by Edison himself. Displayed in a case filled with Nitrogen (in case the seals on the bulbs were broken) and put a few watts through some of the old bulbs. Edison’s and many others’ bulbs were designed to maximize the length of filament that was inside the bulb, by looping the filament up and down in a circle. Modern day light bulbs are made with very thin filaments, tightly packed in coils.
