electricity
During my current Artist Residency at Eyebeam Art & Technology Center in NYC, I am building a new series of collars for Wearable Weapon's with hacked Violet Wands connected to software that pulses mini-electrical arcs through voice interaction.
You might ask... and what are Violet Wands?
Violet Wands (Violet Rays pictured 1st and Violet Wands 2nd) are electro medical devices invented by Nicola Tesla and recommended by Edgar Cayce as a healing tool. Violet Wands are also modern, electrical, kink or highly erotic electro-stimulation tools. They are used for the application of low current, high voltage (min 25 kV to max 65 kV), high-frequency, electricity to the body. Violets Wands are sold both to the police department and the S&M community. The wands have a variety of intensity levels that do anything from burn to arouse the end receiver. My ultimate intention is to provoke rather than harm.
*BIG THANK YOU* to Wanda at violetwanda.com for her support of this project in her generous donations of violet wands & electrodes!!
