    Does anybody here like String Art?

    I find it absolutely amazing, espescially when made with flourescent strings and viewed under UV light.
    I haven't seen this form of art anywhere apart as decoration on psytrance parties/festivals.
    It creates a magical atmosphere and I think it deserves more attention. :)

    Here are a few examples, taken from these web-sites: Protoart Analogia

    Hey, Moon Water and flmkpr glad you like it.
    To view the little video you need to have QuickTime Player installed.
    You can download the player for free here: QuickTime Player.
    The video shows a moving string art installation, but is very short, so maybe you don't want to bother.

    :)

    I never really saw it at raves, but I haven't been to one in a long long while.. however I've seen it often at psy/goa gatherins.

    the geometric intricacies are beautiful. They're like sacred geometry, and the UV glow blows them to an omni-dimensional land. There is some connection between geometry and psy/goa, though what it is, I can only say for me, but it must be for other people based on these always showing up. thanks for the great post.
