In Teslamania, Joel Schlemowitz creates a record of a performance of electromagnetic sparks at the Collective Unconsicous. Shot in 16mm, all the visual effects—double exposures, refracted images, time lapse— were edited in camera. Internationally acclaimed Thereminist and composer Dorit Chrysler, founder of the New York Theremin Society, provides the score.
