Making Neons at Art School │ SAIC

First, the piece in the thumbnail is made by Tina Tang!
How do the neons work? Well, after we make our shapes with the glass, we then hand them over to our professor and TA who attach electrodes to the glass then bombard it- filling the glass with gas. The gas is what creates the color. After its been bombarded, the lights are plugged into a transformer to age where the gas with the electric current becomes its' color. Neons last for years- centuries! They are powered by transformers which die before the neon itself.

Hey guys!
Thanks for watching, I took this class over a three week winter session at SAIC so I was happy that I managed to still create a video. I will see you all very soon with a start of spring semester vlog.
Later 🐊
