Neon Positronic Brain

On Monday Russ installed his newest sculpture at the Washington University School of Medicine -- he calls it the Neon Positronic Brain. It's a crazy sculpture with all kinds of different colored neon lighting up at different times.

The sculpture is viewer activated by three electronic eyes that read whenever someone comes into the building. There was lots of excitment from the students and faculty as he was installing it.

This month he was profiled in 417 Magazine as "the Mad Scientist of Sculpture," and looking at the big Jacob's Ladder that sparks across two stainless steel columns running through the middle of the sculpture makes the title seem appropriate.

It was a little harrowing, driving the sculpture there in 14 degree weather and uncrating it outside in that cold, but worth it -- the sculputure arrived undamaged.
