Interactive Fire Sculpture
Premiered at Burning Man 2010 in Nevada, The Heart Machine is a collaborative project that combines sculptural structures, flame effects and technology to create a compelling interactive art experience that welcomes and needs participants. Citizens must tend to The Heart Machine, as the machine and city coexist in a symbiotic relationship. Protruding from a large central heart are four "arteries" each connected to sensors that, when touched, will cause flames to shoot up to 25 feet into the air from 16 foot tall columns. How we perceive technology guides our interactivity with the machine.
