According to DesignBoom Strobach, "wanted to visualize these intricate mechanisms in color, communicating a computerized object’s inside to the outside." The result is an intriguing take on how electricity can generate such a beautiful piece of work, in a way that's never been done before. To achieve her effect, Strobach [prints with electricity onto silk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible), which is a delicate yet handy material to use for what she is doing. When it comes to artwork, many people think that this simply involves paint on a canvas, but Cindy Strobach shows here that it can be so much more than that, if only people think beyond conventional limits.
