The Heart Machine is inspired by the 2010 Burning Man theme and In Fritz Lang’s 1926 movie Metropolis. In the movie the main character asks, “It was their hands that built this city of ours, father. But where do the hands belong in your scheme?” His father answers, “In their proper place – the depths.”
The Heart Machine is an official Burning Man Honorarium project.

Imagine during the evening a lone Nuit Blanche wanderer catches a glimpse of dancing flames. The wanderer is drawn to the flames; for to be around fire is to be connected to an intimate place where humans have always gathered.
What could these flames be… a bonfire, a burning sculpture, a random act of vandalism?

Alice, having walked up to the cube to inspect the fireflies closer, wonders how those on the edge of the cube would respond to her own lights. She takes out a small light on her keychain, and flashes it at one of the closest fireflies. The firefly lights up, which then wakes up its neighbors, and the stream of light passes through the cube to the other end.

PK4A stands for “Pyrokinesis for Alex”, where Alex is the last person you’d ever want to have the ability to shoot fire with the power of her mind. Using a wireless EEG headset and a control unit connected to a flame effect, participants can create 20′+ blasts of fire with their thoughts.
