Future Fires Projection Mapping in Napa Valley
One of our favorite events from the 2019 summer was the performance at Hess Winery put on by Festival Napa Valley on July 11. Future Fires artist David Ostro created projection mapping on a pair of 12-foot diameter screens. Much of the imagery was provided by a special guest for this 50th anniversary of our first walk on the moon: Donald Pettit, NASA Astronaut.

Add some more info about this item...
Encor is a studio founded in 2015 by swiss artists Mirko Eremita, David Houncheringer, Valerio Spoletini, and Manuel Oberholzer. Light is the common thread in their many and diverse projects. The driving ideas are elegant and elemental.
At the Fête des Lumières in 2018, the artists installed Frontier (see linked video). Frontier is the engineered play of light on a pool of water, unfolding via increasingly ingenious strategies.

Joanie Lemercier, inspiration to a generation of light artists, has long been fascinated with the potential for creating moving, three-dimensional images. His latest work, with projections on water vapor and mist, has moved even closer to that place that science-fiction author Arthur C. Clarke famously indicated, wherein technology begins to look a lot like magic.

THE GIVING TREE // SPRING, 2018 // GRAND CENTRAL STATION, NYC
Future Fires is delighted to be working with Yves Peitzner Labs (Munich) on prototyping, rendering, and other services critical to getting our client projects from the "idea" stage to reality. This past Spring, YPL design-directed the “Giving Tree” interactive installation for HUSH STUDIOS and their client Chobani. Each visitor could plant a digital “seed” and watch it grow in the overhead tree canopy. For each seed planted, Chobani donated a case of yoghurt to No Kid Hungry. This installation was created for the 10 year anniversary of Chobani Yoghurt, USA, and over 21.000 interactions were counted on the day of the installation. See link for remarkable photos of a remarkable installation.
