AquaElectricArcPlasma is a visual and sound artwork that arises from a scientific experiment from the early 20th century. By using carbon electrodes submerged in water and high amperage electric energy, a subaquatic plasma is generated that causes an electrochemical electrolysis. This release of oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon ions leads to the creation of the COH2 gas.
The photoluminescence that occurs during the gas generation process is a crucial element of the artwork, as are the sounds generated during water electrification. This transdisciplinary experiment combines scientific, artistic, and mystical methodologies.
The experimental action took place in a memorial for the death of Príamo Lozada, an exceptional being who illuminated us with his love for art and life. The result of the transdisciplinary experiment was an energetic metaphor about the transcendence of existence.
As a society, we must find the best ways to transform energy to live in balance with nature, avoiding extreme extractive energies and the combustion of hydrocarbons. Chemical electrolysis by subaquatic plasma is an emerging way to transform energy in a more balanced and environmentally friendly way. Energy is neither created nor destroyed; it simply transforms, and it is our responsibility to find more sustainable ways to do so.
