This installation, "Analogía I," presents an unexpected electrical circuit made from everyday objects. You'll see potatoes, zinc and copper electrodes, and electrical cables arranged on a simple wooden chair, all connected to a voltmeter. The work explores the potential for energy in organic materials, transforming humble potatoes into a power source. It invites us to consider the hidden energies around us and the often-overlooked connections between natural elements and technology. The title, "Analogía I," suggests a comparison or a parallel, perhaps between the life force in the potatoes and the electrical current they generate, or between scientific experimentation and artistic creation. This piece challenges traditional notions of what constitutes art and technology, creating a quiet, thought-provoking display.
