protocol:
novaqua

protocol: novaqua is not a static sculpture, but an ongoing material process. it is the documentation of a continuous chemical reaction occurring on a micro-industrial scale.

the experiment revolves around the application of a synthetic protective layer—derived from heavy-duty commercial water conditioners—over fragments of submerged industrial debris.

the primary objective is to observe the friction between the corrosive nature of the raw metal and the synthetic isolation barrier. the process is continuously recorded, mapping the physical transformation and chemical degradation over extended periods.
