The Leiterblitz (Wireflash) apparatus is an artwork and an experimentation device to study the effects of high
electrical energy applied to thin metal wire. The sole function of this apparatus is to repeatedly stretch
very thin metal wire between two brass electrodes and apply a lot of electrical energy in a very short
amount of time, thus exploding the wire.
Pipe organ, control electronics and devices to operate the organ in a non-organ like fashion.
