Throwing something has dropped out of fashion in recent times. Before it used to be a popular expression of discontent and a natural way to relieve tension. Stones, eggs and paint bombs became the voice of the people. Who of us still knows how to throw?  

Brandsatz() [firebomb] is a facade projection, that closely mimics eggs and paint bombs. The detonation of these objects triggers the display of a graphical pattern/ornament on the facade. What used to be the broken window has become a computer generated dynamic event. The dull front of a building undergoes its aesthetic revival.
