Painting with fire, way to a cybernetic glove (video)

Fire : essentially the most primal element. “It’s a living thing,” Robert De Niro once said, “It breathes, it eats, and it hates. The sole option to beat it’s to think love it.” Unless you’re an artist – then you definately rig up a chain of tubes, pump in some kerosene, and fasten it to a Power Glove -like control device. Next thing you already know, you’re “fire painting,” making that hateful beast dance and strut in your amusement. “Its burning may be handled by subtle movements of the sensory data glove for tactile formulation of the fiery image,” the artist explains, “Thus, the picture may be manipulated, yet it constantly escapes control.” To grasp what it’s want to summon flame with a flick of your wrist – while sporting a creepy smiley-face welding mask, no less – see the video above.
