2015-2018 / Leaks

Five FM radio transmitter circuits leaked using electrolysis with diluted saltpetre. The result is a narrative disclosure of source code made and damaged by a chemical orchestration of mineral resources.

2014 / Offshoring Pathways

Offshoring Pathways is an installation that, through a chemical method and a crystallisation process, shows the energy configuration of the saltpetre zeitgeist: the sea-spray oxidation, the ripples left on the ocean surface by the wind vessels wake, the wind force over the ocean, the power of the sodium nitrate chemical bonds between science, warfare and agriculture, and the importance that these elements have had since the 19th century.

This piece includes a small sculptural wind turbine, in order to provide the required electricity.

2014 / The Prediction of Tarapacá

The Giant of Tarapacá geoglyph has been honoured here by using its geometric paths to carry a burst of electricity generated by a solar-engine circuit.

By placing a compass in the hand of the figure, the circuit, when triggered, deviates slightly and momentarily the magnetic field of the compass.

Copper is then orchestrating a reenacted rituality in time and space.
