Burning Closer, interactive
video
Burning closer is an experimental interactive project that reacts to people’s presence. Using a distance sensor connected to an Arduino and visualized in TouchDesigner, it shows a sun made of particles that grows and eventually “explodes” as you get closer. The background sound, a layer of noise, gets louder and heavier the nearer you are, creating a direct connection between your movement and the piece.
It explores how human presence and actions can trigger change, reflecting both our personal impact and the broader consequences on the world, hinting at themes like environmental fragility and global warming.
