Burning Too was a architectural projection consisting of video projections and the sounds of fire presented on the Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre during the opening of the International Symposium on Electronic Art/ISEA 2016. The crystalline-shaped building, designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, has a 55 x 26 m façade angled forward 62 degrees. Software was specifically designed to map four video projections onto the building's façade, enabling the imagery to appear as one unified Ultra HD (4K) video projection of fire synchronized with interactive sound. Burning Too is a metaphorical depiction of humanity’s long-standing relationship with fire.
