In January 2010, I tested the prototype of my discharge tube and I could observe the phenomenon of energy creating connections in a multi-electrodes environment (video-documentation 1'13''). The image I saw, it was instantly associated in my head to a neural connection. The discharging electrode was trying to visualize his own informations (about parameters of oscillations) together to the other electrode. Afterwards I found out that, scientifically, nature finds efficient to transmit energy on long distances by twisting together monofilaments of plasma.
This fact was very illuminating about the nature of energy in our universe, because confirmed me the tendency of free matter to be synchronized as I wrote in my previous text: Art of Synchronization in Chaotic Systems.
Inspired, I started a research about neural systems and/or neural network. From Wikipedia:
- Biological neural networks are made up of real biological neurons that are connected or functionally related in the peripheral nervous system or the central nervous system. In the field of neuroscience, they are often identified as groups of neurons that perform a specific physiological function in laboratory analysis.
- Artificial neural networks are made up of interconnecting artificial neurons (programming constructs that mimic the properties of biological neurons). Artificial neural networks may either be used to gain an understanding of biological neural networks, or for solving artificial intelligence problems without necessarily creating a model of a real biological system. The real, biological nervous system is highly complex and includes some features that may seem superfluous based on an understanding of artificial networks.
Working on inventing a plasma light-sound instrument, conclusions became clear: in a multi-electrodes discharge tube, the plasma light configuration is an unlinear (unpredictable and chaotic) phenomenon sensitive to be interfered on a double level:
- internal: by an artificial intelligence able to elaborate an output by changing parameters of the system digitally to configure plasma into certain physical and structural limits (shape of tubes, measures ext).
- external: by inviting the audience to interact with the machine based on touching (with the hands) the electric field on the surface of the glass.
In these conditions, the "neural behaviour" of plasma by means of elaborating information based on a network cooperation of High Voltage sources (since the observable configuration is the result of physical interactions by twisted multiple plasma filaments), consists on the creation of an audiovisual substance, visually remarkable on the aesthetic quality of plasma and acoustically detectable on the radio-waves propagation through the space.
