Light Point Systems
I saw this series of images making the rounds yesterday but didn't have the context of what they were depicting.. I assumed they were just digital creations of varied lightforms. Turns out, the official explanation is that each image is a photograph of the light system shutting down inside of old tube televisions. It's an image most of us have seen hundreds of times before but only for a minuscule moment. Stephan Tillmans has been able to capture not only the effect but the movement as well. The result is fascinating to say the least.

What is it you're looking for?
