What is "detonography"?
Detonography is an art technique involving the creation of patterns or images by setting off explosives in a controlled manner. This method, often used for experimental or large artworks, relies on the force of the explosive to carve or mark a surface. The technique can create dramatic and unique visual effects, using the impact and spread of the explosion to form delicate designs. It is a rare and unusual method mainly used by artists interested in combining elements of destruction and creation in their work.
