Gunpowder art

This is firearm related because "gun" is in the title of this post.

Visited the Museum of Fine Art in Houston this afternoon and was smartly impressed with a piece spanning all walls of an exhibit room. "Odyssey" is the title created by Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang. Watch the public domain video and be amazed that gunpowder can blow up as a work of art:

I think this is far better than watching Tannerite explosions.

The results really were impressive but I got to admit the number of times I yelled at the screen 'GET ON WITH IT' was north of four.

WOW, most fun I have had since watching the paint in my bedroom dry.
The completed piece is neat.

For the "money shot" skip to 8:37.

The rest is a bit... boring.

That's my kind of art. I remember doing that to my dad's garage floor when I was 13

Good try, but... actually, it's not.
