Fire Feast is an art performance sought to present a new form of interaction between humans and fire. In this project, fire is turned into "food", and can be interacted through such motions as scooping, ladling, pouring and toasting. Scenes are created based on the exploration of multiple chemical features and material properties of fire.

This inspires people to view every-day nature elements from a different perspective. And think further - What other possibilities are hidden in these things that we’ve taken granted from nature?




Sketch
Fire exists in many forms: candles, matches, fireworks... But most people choose to stay away from the flames.

We want to explore the connections and ways of interactions between people and fire: Can we catch fire, move fire, breed fire? Or treat fire as Water, fill it in a cup, drink it, and get drunk in the Flame?

Flowable Fire (alcohol hand sanitizer), Fire Gel(sodium polyacrylate), Flame Test, Arduino Interaction
