1.1
Fireworks on its common notion are a spectacle. The effects
produced by them can be arousing and mysthical, sometimes
beyond rational comprehension. The cause of these effects
are no other than mechanical and technical. They never go
beyond the science of pyrotechnics.
1.2
Fireworks intends to be a tool to (re)enchant
not only on the surface level, but on a deeper level the urban
stages of the contemporary city.
1.3
Fireworks on the urban stage is not to be taken literal, it
is about the mechanisms to create the illusion, the spectacle.
The mechanisms of production are more important than the show
itself.
1.4
Fireworks themselves cannot fight against the global forces
of consumption and mono-cultural institutions, that constitute
the fuel of the contemporary city. Fireworks must be used
as a mask. They constitute a strategy of disguise, to hide
and implant other desired actions.

branding:
Fireworks
connect people through the spectacle. They promote the unity
of different individuals by the overwhelming attraction of the
performance on stage. |
|
flow:
The
flows of money and information, and their speeds, are crucial
in a society of consumption. The faster you know, the more
you have. Fireworks become embedded by just riding on these
flows.
|
incorporation:
Fireworks
have an adaptative quality, they are a common object that,
due to its normality, merges into the built environment and
broader institutional bodies.
