This sculpture from Japan is sensitive to neutrinos and lights up when they fly into it. Not sure how I ever came across this, but it does remind me of the radiation photographs by Peter Shellenberger. And for your own entertainment visual fascination, just run an image search for neutrino art.
Tom Na H-iu, Teshima, Kagawa, 2010:The colossal glass object standing in the middle of the pond surrounded by a bamboo grove is linked to the Kamioka Observatory (Super-Kamiokande) in Hida, Japan, by a computer, interactively glowing when it receives data of neutrinos generated by supernova explosions (the death of stars).Watching this sculpture projecting the light of neutrinos - the soul of the universe - onto the water surface, we will feel that we are linked to the universe, or indeed that we are ourselves the universe, relating our living in the eternal ow of time to Tom Na H-iu.
