Luke Evans' Xero series visualizes electricity.

To make them, Evan deconstructs the xerography process, which is used in machines like laser printers and photocopiers.

Some look like irises.

Others look like snakes.

To start, Evans uses a high-voltage Van Der Graaf generator, to zap a piece of acrylic with 400,000 volts of electricity.

This leaves a static discharge on the acrylic---the same fuzzy feel you get from running your hand over the top of an old TV.

From there, Evans sprinkles toner powder on the acrylic and presses a sheet of paper against it. He uses an iron to heat seal the image on the page.

The shape is determined by variables like humidity and the shape of electrode used to zap the acrylic. This was made with a metal ball.

They look cool, sure. But Evans says every piece comes with a price: lots of shocks.
