The Neuron Chamber by Alan Rorie is an electro-kinetic sculpture of a steel and glass frame that contains hand-forged steel and copper model neurons. Even better, the neurons within the chamber create and send beautiful electrical arcs down the interior of the sculpture. These arcs do more than merely look pretty, but they have changed the sculpture itself by oxidizing its innards, giving it a new layer of color and depth.

Hey All —
Alan, from Almost Scientific here.
First, thanks for the post Laughing Squid.
Second, I’d like to be sure due credit is given to the rest of the Almost Scientific team who worked on The Neuron Chamber: Jo Slota, Ben Carpenter and David Shulman.
Third, we are going to try and install The Neuron Chamber this Friday night (June 5th) for the Raygun Gothic Rocket Galactic Gala at the Bently Reserve.
Ya’all should come down Friday night, it’s going to be a great party and you’ll get to see The Neuron Chamber crackling all night long.
You can get more info about the party here:
