Luis González Palma. Una isla hecha de agua.

La idea de este proyecto es sustituir el lugar de los epicentros de los lunamotos registrados, por una oculta sonoridad; transformando un acto de liberación de energía en uno de carácter simbólico y poético. Para ello se han trasladado las referencias geográficas de los epicentros a una tarjeta que al perforarse activa el dispositivo de una caja de música.

The Moon, this celestial body, has not only illuminated the minds of scientists and astronomers throughout history, it has also been the source from which much poetry has sprung and has formed part of the symbolic imaginary since the beginning of humanity. But the Moon is not only our celestial companion, it is, we could say, a living body, constantly changing, interacting with the Earth in a reciprocal way.

One example of this is its seismic activity. Ever since the US space programme touched lunar soil, several seismographs have been set up to record lunar seismic movements known as ‘lunamotos’. These movements can be shallow, medium-deep or deep. This means that our 4.51 billion-year-old satellite is still transforming. It is geologically active, i.e. a celestial body in constant evolution and change.

The idea of this project is to replace the place of the epicentres of the recorded lunamotos with a hidden sonority; transforming an act of energy release into one of symbolic and poetic character. To this end, the geographical references of the epicentres have been transferred to a card which, when perforated, activates the device of a music box.
