Overcooked? Yes, but ...
The image was cooked in ACR to the point where Adobe would not accept the changes.
Cooked again, a screen shot was made, cropped and enlarged.
The result is unacceptable? Or Art?
If you like it, then fine. Almost anything can be called "art".

What does "to the point where Adobe would not accept the changes" mean?
Attractive as a special effects image.

I opened a raw file, made many adjustments with the sliders. Hit the Open File button and all the changes I'd made were gone, file reverted back to original.

Interesting effect. Is that blue color a shadow warning in ACR? If so, a screenshot would be required to capture it. Whatever works!

Ah, that makes sense
I think it's fascinating and beautiful! I would prefer the square on the wall not be there (light switch plate?), but I like the circle in lower right. It would be very interesting to know how this looks printed. I've only printed about 10 of my playful pp works. Some looked great, some didn't.
As for "overcooked," that is quickly becoming a very annoying word to me
Like "art," it is relatively meaningless because everyone has their own preferences and definitions. For most of us on UHH, "I know what I like" covers it. The same with "is it unacceptable?" For whom and for what reason or purpose?
So, is this a one-time experiment for you, Mark, or do you like the result and plan to try more? If you like the result, what is it that appeals to you? For me it's the gorgeous colors and intricate design against the stark background and less detailed lamp base. Even the way the light is cast works for me.
When any program reaches the luminosity limits it can go no further and always gives the same result if you try to push it further.
This is what is happening here. The blue is just the under exposed warning.
I did an experiment with a spider cube with the same results in cube the opening. That area was pure - almost black - so I hit the wall quickly. Everything else around changed but not the hole area.
As to what is art? Eye of the beholder.

I have a few of these type lamps, together with bulbs that, on request, change brightness and color. I don't recall what color the bulb was when the photo was taken but it was in very low light except for the bulb. The wall is solid white. The plate, white and the round speaker black. And yes, the color changes and intensities were fun and appealing to me. The blue lines you see are originally black.
One of my favorite colors is cornflower blue. I'll try that next but still wonder why PS won't allow the changes.

Hopefully, you read the explanations by Blenheim Orange and Rongnongno after replying to me? They figured it out
I mostly agree with what Linda and others have said, but....
There's a difference between 'I did it because I can' and 'I did it because I needed to do it that way.'
Radically altering an image results in a radically altered image. The result might be Art, or it might just be a radically altered image.

Warnings makes perfect sense but a make-the-change-anyway button would be nice.

With many of the adjustment sliders pegged I "liked" what I saw. Photoshop didn't. Because I liked it, the process was repeated and a screen print made, cropped and enlarged. Radically altered? Yes. But, since I'm a "hope I can present what I think my eyes saw," and have never, ever, made an adjustment layer of any kind, couldn't multiple layered photos be considered radically altered?

I'm afraid I'm not following you - Lightroom doesn't have an Open File button. And, I've never once had an experience with LR where the edit's I made weren't there the next time I wanted to edit a photo.
