This reminds me of an art installation at the university in Trondheim, Norway. It's using a glass ball as a lens to burn holes in a tin plate. Every year the tin plate is changed and displayed on the wall inside the university.

- matsemann 5y agoThey are hanging on the walls of Realfagsbygget ("STEM-building") at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Best picture I could find: https://koro.no/content/uploads/2020/04/55-417x550.jpg https://koro.no/content/uploads/2020/04/55-417x550.jpg (some of them not burned yet) From the end of the long album here: https://koro.no/prosjekter/ntnu-trondheim-norges-teknisk-naturvitenskapelig-universitet-realfagbygget-campus-gl%C3%B8shaugen/ https://koro.no/prosjekter/ntnu-trondheim-norges-teknisk-nat... My favorite art installation in that building is a huge Foucault pendulum. Always had to wait for it to knock over a peg when walking past.
