Last evening I went to the official opening of the 15,000 Watts Exposition. An exposition of Photographs, Paintings, and Displays by Arnoux, Cartooch, and Miguel Lombardo. I have never been to La Casona previously and enjoyed both the expo and the location. The exposition, while not large, was poignant. A display of photos and artwork by Arnoux, Cartooch and Lombardo which demonstrated the wasteful, offensive, outdated but still used, power line/engery systems which drape around Panama and many other countries.
My impression was that 15,000 Watts is aimed at increasing awareness of our “wired world” around us and perhaps to drive us to think more in terms of cleaning up existing energy systems and developing more efficient, visually appealing, options.
The event was catered by Ma Maison; their selection of wines and drinks was excellent.
