Sun and atmosphere create an ever changing invisible pattern of light on the earth's surface. Solar effervescence project is an intervention in the flow of sunlight to capture its essence in the form of electricity and physical experience. The earth's main source of energy is the constant flow of ultraviolet, visible and infra-red solar radiation. Geographical aspects like latitude and elevation determine not only variations in climate, but also variations in illumination. As light travels through the atmosphere it bounces of particles, first filtering wavelengths of violet and blue, followed by green, yellow and orange. A combination of the remaining visible light gives every location on earth its specific illumination.
