Project Flashlight

by Neal Strickberger

Project Flashlight is about interactive light at a grand scale! The joy of light. Pure, incredibly bright white beams, like fingers of God in the night sky. Participant controlled with a tablet. The searchlights are 1.2 billion candlepower military battlefield illuminators, formerly used by NASA to illuminate Apollo and Space Shuttle launches. Project Flashlight reanimated 1960s technology, added motors and computer controls, all for the sake of art!

Fireball Shooting Gallery

by A Stahler

The Fireball Shooting Gallery has the look and feel of an old-school carnival shooting booth, but with the "firepower" and noise that Burners desire. Participants approach the booth and stand behind one of two mounted cannons where they personally load, charge and fire the cannon at a variety of moving and stationary targets. Each person can shoot up to three tennis balls if the line is long, or more if there isn't a wait.

Trust

by Paige Tashner

Trust is a circle of 4 large, metal, cat sculptures with their butts and tails in the air, buttholes facing inward. Each butthole is decorated differently - disco, talking, games, uv-reactive, etc. When a cat shows you her butt, she absolutely trusts you. She's like, "Here! You're my human and I feel good about it." And it’s funny! Meeting new people, experiencing new things can be intimidating and overwhelming. Trust provides comic relief to help people let down their guard and, hopefully, feel safe to trust themselves and other people they encounter within the ring of cats.

Commune

by Jim Cortez

The heart of Commune is a masterfully crafted table for eight, where technology and artistry intertwine. Intricate LED patterns dance beneath its surface, while a mysterious spherical centerpiece pulses with light, casting ever-changing patterns across the faces of those gathered. Above, a sculptural chandelier and beacon reach toward the stars, their light flowing through eight graceful metal pillars that support a protective canopy. Each place setting, permanently affixed to the table, stands ready for a feast that exists only in imagination.

Flintstones

by Walt Poultney

A faithful replica of the iconic cartoon car owned by Fred Flintstone. It's got the logs & granite rollers, the tiger stripe upholstery, seating for 10, and even the dodo bird. And of course, blinky lights. Lots of freaking blinky lights. Based on a Taylor Dunn electric transport car, like you see in airports, but with all the current stone age mutations.

Airpusher Airship

by Airpusher Collective

The Airpusher Airship is an iconic airship art car that has been going to Burning Man for over a decade. We've also been to Unscruz many times as well as other festivals and events. The art car has a full sound system and DJ booth in the back. We have recently aligned with Solarpunk as both a movement and aesthetic, incorporating solar power for sound and effects, adding tree murals on the ship sides as well as "plasma orbs" mounted on top of the art car.

Phando Blades

by Joe Andolina

This project is a 360° kinetic light sculpture that hypnotizes with imagery suspended in midair. Five 40-inch persistence-of-vision LED "blades" spin light into holographic video, turning empty space into a living canvas. Every frame is crafted specifically for this piece, ranging from serene minimalism to mind-bending intensity, unfolding on a two-hour loop that rewards wandering and repeat looks. Budget willing, future iterations will support interactive graphics.

Sannidhi

by Chris Cobb

A 20-foot dome of redwood branches. A carved heart of Shakti cradled in lotus petals below. The Eye of Shiva hanging at the apex above. Between them, participants enter the space of Shiva-Shakti. The meeting of pure consciousness and pure power that generated Love as the first creative act. Inside: 432hz instruments for unstructured play, scheduled sound baths, and an invitation to silence. This is a space without words, leave them outside the door and bring your presence. The dome does not represent a sacred space. It is one.

The Spoon House 2.3

by Julia Dvorin

The Spoon House 2.3 is an update and expansion of last year's The Spoon House 2.1 installation (it evolves each time it is installed). The core of the installation is still a 20'x10', 2-room structure where the "walls" and "roof" are made from approximately 5000 spoons arranged in free-hanging strands of spoons of various types. Two “spoondeliers” hang from the ceiling of the structure, and a variety of spoon-decorated furniture and "spoonstruments" inside both rooms welcomes visitors to sit, rest, contemplate, converse and play. An interactive journal and pens found inside the house provide prompts for reflection. Outside the house, there is an interactive spoon “mailbox” where people can leave and take positive messages and small gift items. New items for this year: a “reading corner” inside the house with a spoon-decorated chair, footstool, lamp, plants and bookshelf with Spoon Theory related books, and a garden "Spergola" with additional seating, spoon plants, spoondelier and lamp.
