Interesting thoughts, Mr. Iliescu. Again it shows a scientific perception is different and wholesome to an artistic perception of things. Both give you interesting views of the world. And when they meet at the crossroads of sci-art, it gives an overwhelming feeling of fulfillment. How many will try to go for this unique experience is a million dollar question the future will answer.

This incursion of Mr. Adam W. Brown in the emotions distant past, fascinated by upgrading

 the Philosopher’s Stone causing it to float steam mystery devices of this dominated sophisticated science.

 

As  Mr. Brown states in his work that mysterious red colored substance is

gold (III) chloride, traditionally called auric chloride, is a chemical compound of gold and chlorine.

 

 But alchemists possessed were aimed transmuting metals low value (lead) into gold.

So  the   statements  of Mr Brown:

Great Work of the Metal Lover That is year sits at the intersection artwork of art, science and alchemy, re-examining the problem of transmutation through the use of modern microbiological practice and thus solving the ancient riddle.

conclusions should be considered metaphorical (science and fine art).

Of course experts will decide on the artistic side ratio in the work of Mr. Brown

And I tried I transpose myself in searching the alchemists.

  I give an extract from:

Iliescu Liviu; Adieri Albastre, "Arta" (Bucharest), no. 9-10, 1990 page 25 .

(Letter to Theodor Redlow who asked me 
what I feel when I look at a candle flame)

     I have discussed you observations on the range of colours in a candle flame based on my technical knowledge as an engineer. Invited to provide some considerations on intersection, I shall try (in a somewhat "alchemical" manner) to voice certain opinions which might entail discussions on other subjects. This theme - the same as others in the field of visual arts, which are close to sciences - permits explorations with the fascination of mirages resulting from suggested indistinct definitions. These are related to the nature of soul, more than to the compulsory precision usually require by explanations of the physical world.
I'd like to share the feelings of the "possessed" alchemists who used to mix up both of substances from the physical world with pagan prayers learned or revealed to their souls from the beyond. 
     I'd like to live the mystery of flaring embers, with violet flickering, the moving fluids on cave walls, in nights with rainfalls and distant thunders, the light slumbers and frightened awakenings...
     At the crossroads between "to feel" and "to know", my words gather in pious sentences or in descriptive listings of apparently simple phenomena. Maybe it is necessary to let the atavistic impulses of questions with no answer, make their way through us, in order to simulate creative emotions. Those questions gave rise to the thrills of mystery and sometimes, generated "graven images" meant to drive away despair.
