Glow in the Dark

Geert Mul

‘Glow in the Dark’ is an interactive artwork for the new fire station of the fire brigade of Zwolle. The work is based on a thermografic camera that searches for warm objects and persons in his environment. The camera is capable to keep track of persons and objects when they are detected. Passengers, personell and visitors appear in a videoprojection above the entrance. The pictural language of a thermografic camera is part of the pictural vocabulair of the fire brigade. This language is made public by the artwork. When the artwork doesn’t detect any heat scources, it changes in passive mode.
