TechnoCanvas
A convergence: fine art performance in virtual reality
2023 - 2025
Part political satire, part spiritual wake-up call, Existential Snacks: Food for Thought is a conceptual art project that uses American candies and snack foods as sculptural materials to address urgent, global, and existential issues ranging from threats to democracy, climate change, racism, and AI. The series blends humor, activism, and spirituality, combining pop-cultural absurdity with moral and spiritual gravity to explore how society trivializes profound human crises.
In TechnoCanvas, Firestone transforms the invisible into spectacle—live-painting multidimensional worlds in virtual reality. These electrifying performances unfold before audiences on massive screens, set to music, with each gesture rendered into color, form, and emotional resonance in real time.
A paid keynote speaker and artist-in-residence, Firestone travels the world sharing how technology can be a conduit to deepen our shared humanity through art. Her performances captivate at global tech conferences, luxury brand activations, and VIP cultural events.
