...Victor Millonzi play with the unique relationship between light and space embodied by neon. As Millonzi points out, "Light as sculptural mass can create forms that contain space and light instead of displacing it."

Antonakos' sculpture is more complex, with colored fluorescent tubes flashing through a number of different time sequences. The sketches show how the timing is programmed and reveal the way the sculpture was planned to relate to its surroundings. Here...
...ballistic flight. By measuring the changing intensity of X rays detected by the scanner and coordinating the scanner with the camera, Giacconi's group was able to locate Scorpio's X-ray source about 1,000 times as accurately as any previous studies. They also determined the angular size of the radiating object itself, and concluded that the X-ray source would probably appear as a bluish, starlike object of the 13th magnitude (visible with a 6-in. telescope...

With the possible exception of Leonard Starr's newspaper strip On Stage, The Spirit is comic strip art at its most inventive...

Her Rosalind in As You Like It was called "the best in history," her Katharine in The Taming of the Shrew "fiery, lovely, right and true...
