Eric Orr

The Electrum Project

Electrum is a sculpture that employs lightning as the major component. Real lightning which is very rarely seen up close, has the ability to focus and clear the mind. The work stands 38 feet tall and is essentially a column with a sphere on the top. Concealed within the sculpture is a 130,000 watt Tesla Coil. The Tesla Coil is the largest of its kind in the world. Lightning discharges up to fifty feet in length emanate in all directions from the top of the sphere.

The Electrum project is a collaboration between Greg Leyh, high voltage engineer from Lightning on Demand (LOD) in San Francisco, and Eric Orr, sculptor. Leyh represents the scientific aspect that has allowed Orr to manifest a work of art that is singular in its power to transform the moment. Orr has combined primary materials in a number of his water and fire sculptures. The Electrum sculpture is an evolution of Orr's work towards absolute simplicity. The sculpture has the sense of pure industrial strength art. The viewer is bathed in the raw force of nature.

Electrum was commissioned by a prominent New Zealand art patron. The work will be set up on his farm in April 1998 outside of Auckland.

현대미술에 새롭게 눈을 뜨기 시작하신건가요? 눈치를 보니 공부하는데 상당히 신이나 계신듯.. 제가 작년에 그렇게 한해를 보냈거든요... 그것은 또 하나의 경이로움이지요...
