Dance Dance Immolation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dance Dance Immolation (DDI) is an interactive fire art game based on the music video game Dance Dance Revolution (DDR). The gameplay of DDI is much like the original DDR with two participants trying to follow the music synchronized arrows on the screen with the arrow pads beneath their feet.
The "Immolation" signifies the fire element of the game: when players do well they are rewarded by huge jets of fire that blast up into the air, and when they do poorly propane flamethrowers fire directly at their faces. As dangerous as this sounds, no one gets hurt because the participants wear a full aluminized fire proximity suit with forced-air respirators. Numerous other safeguards are built into the system to insure the players are not subject to direct flame exposure or inhalation of superheated air.
[edit] History
The project began in spring of 2005, at the hands of the art group Interpretive Arson.
In June 2005, it premiered as a one player game at the The Crucible's Fire Arts Festival in Oakland, California.
In August 2005, the full two-player version of the game was completed and installed at Burning Man 2005.
It returned again for Burning Man 2006 as the centerpiece for a DDI theme camp located at Esplanade and 3:30.
