Carolina, Puerto Rico ( updated June 16 , 2024).
Since Monday, June 10th, we've been at the space known as El Bastión in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, part of the ACirc association, carrying out construction work for the Micropoderosos project. We'll be there until mid-August.
This first week, we created prototypes of the general idea for each sculpture, dedicating a day to each one, from Monday to Wednesday. Although we're just starting this space, the idea has been brewing since January and has been intensively developed since April. However, new contributions emerge each week from the interviews we're conducting with scientists and all kinds of citizens, as well as from visits to related sites.
These aren't the first models, as Julián in Spain has already run several tests to eliminate errors and select possibilities. He has also experimented with some geometries and firings that were intended to be tested for this project. We will share content on all of them to give you more information about the project's progress.
