Eh! Kinda cool, but get and modify one of those under-car UFO brand neon setups, buy a bunch of multi-color leds, add a computer control panel, and program the leds to run patterns close to the frequency rate of certain brain-waves, and you might _really_ be able to visually "knock people out!" 8^}
Having lived in Japan 20 miles outside of Tokyo in the early 60's, I can tell you this bike-mod stuff is very postmodern Japanese style in an exquisitely retro way.
These objects blow me away. The creativity is fantastic... Blade Runner indeed!

Wow this started in the 70's and I am just now reading about now thanks to you and Pink Tentacle!

ReplyDeletePink Tentacle's a hell of a blog. I find fascinating stuff there virtually every time I check.
