The affective candle
The project investigates how primitive rituals can be reimagined through contemporary technologies. It explores the contemplative act of sitting before the fire in search of warmth the ancient wonder of watching flames dance across wood. The data generated by the body during this ritual is sensed and processed through form generation algorithms, serving as a constructive interface between body and form.
The geometry of The Affective Candle emerges from an affective process in which the body itself activates the form. Using biometric sensors, we capture data from the body during a moment of coldness, and throughout the gradual process of warming up through contact with fire.
This physiological data is then used as input in computational design software to generate the final shape of the candle.
Por el fulgor del fuego,
Que ningún ser humano puede mirar sin un asombro antiguo.
