fire
projection
by martin bonadeo
Fire
is the origin of projections. From ancient times many cultures have
been exploring the possibilities of shadows and light filtering to
produce expressive results. Even today cinema, television, a computer
monitor or an LCD projector, are no more than simple technological
shifts from these old ideas.
Burning wood has always been a way to generate not only light but
heat and smell as well. All the religions use fire and candles in
their rites, there is something about life and hope that this phenomena
represents in an extremely accurate way. As a TV set, fire’s
random flame patterns of light and shadows can hypnotized anyone.
A city like San Francisco can consume thousands of KW a night, but
light is still measured in candles, the horse power artificial brightness.
