716 "Of my white fountain what it did replace Perceptually was something that, I felt, Could be grasped only by whoever dwelt In the strange world where I was a mere stray." V. Nabokov, "Pale Fire" The photograph illustrates the natural phenomenon, although lab obtained - called direct current fore-corona discharge *). It's a kind of miniature lightning (called by physicists - streamer) and in the case shown on the artwork is only about 3 cm high. As the lightnings in the Earth's atmosphere are often seeing, corona discharge relativly rarely. Both - atmospheric lightning and fore-corona streamer are gaseous discharges but the one on the photo occurs in the noble gas argon with only a small amount of nitrogen. A single streamer takes the form of a pale thin fiber and is very "flickering" (see additional artwork photos). With a relatively long exposure time of the photograph (1/4 s), the abstract form visible in the photograph is a time-averaged image of the phenomenon. *) "Comparative Studies of dc Corona and Back Discharges in Different Gasses", E.
