Ecology of Fire

 “Ecology of Fire” is displaying a bonfire GIF on a small screen powered by a solar panel.

It explores themes of entropy and organization, likening the energy harvester and converter to an organism as a display of a bonfire. It reflects on humanity’s technological evolution and our connection to natural elements, portraying energy as a cycle of harvesting, converting, and consuming.

We can see the evolution of the human following the source of the energy. Bonfire gif is a small reference to the paleontologic ancestors of today’s energy.

Controlling the energy by controlling the flow of sources, like collecting the galactic energy from the sun and controlling the flow of this energy with thousands of flip flop relays organized by silicon microprocessor and some other components on a gently small conductive circuit board. Then the fire is born again. 

Interestingly, the solar panel non-directly brings us close to the efficient and self-sufficient organisms such as plants.
