Uploaded on Dec 6, 2011
At the Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha, Qatar this week, Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang put on his largest "explosion event" of the last three years, utilizing microchip-controlled explosives to form incredible designs and patterns. The video we've embedded of the event is an impressive testament to how a volatile black powder explosion can be controlled and shaped by computer.
Each set of explosions was calculated to paint a different picture. One series of explosions created black smoke clouds that looked like "drops of ink splattered across the sky."
In another, 8,300 shells embedded with computer microchips exploded in a pyramid shape over the desert.

OK there chief. Please explain to us why they aren't fireworks. This should prove to be entertaining if nothing else.

Great ! I have some innovative ideas about daytime fireworks using smoke too. Thank God these artists have not thought of what I have in mind before me. I am an American , I mention it because this is an event out of my country and from another culture.
