The Burn Cycle Project and artist Ethan Turpin present Walk Into Wildfire, an immersive multimedia exhibit designed to give participants an experiential, proxy view inside a wildland fire. Audiences of all ages can both hear and see how fire moves through landscapes from a rarely seen perspective. This new installation includes recent footage within fires on the Central Coast and wondrous time-lapse video of green, post-fire growth. By having the experience of “being there” viewers have a unique point of view that captures the attention and induces important discussions about fire’s place in nature, fire preparedness, defensible space, prescribed burning, and resilience. April 24 - May 1, 2-6pm daily at the Buellton Recreation Center, 301 2nd Street, Buellton, California. Visit www.BurnCycleProject.com for more information.
