Dream Slide embodies childhood wonder and fantastic visions, responding to our bodies as our dreams respond to our minds.</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b>Sky Gazing</b>，by Patrick Shearn, Poetic Kinetics Studio</p><p class="ql-block">An aerial canopy of ribbons of colorful fabric moving dramatically with the wind, creating an illusion of a floating, dancing kaleidoscopic cloud hovering magically in the sky. Underneath, the murmuration of vibrant colors is immersive overhead, and breathtaking as it ascends to full height. Unexpectedly, the sound is gentle, like a rushing river. </p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">沙塵突起，近在咫尺的<b>女神</b>像若隱若現(xiàn)：</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b><span class="ql-cursor">?</span>I'm Fine</b>，by Oleksiy Sai，Ukraine</p><p class="ql-block">Regardless of cultural or geographical boundaries, all people feel joy, sadness, anger, fear and love – these are the emotions that make us human. “I’m Fine” speaks to a situation familiar to all of us, when we automatically respond with “I’m fine” to the question “Are you ok?” even though we might be feeling pain, anxiety or confusion deep down.</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b>Radial Sonic Runway</b>，by The Runway Crew</p><p class="ql-block">The Radial Sonic Runway visualizes sound waves rippling across the desert. Twenty-five gates with LED spokes form a corridor stretching out into the open playa, through which participants can walk or bike. A microphone at one end triggers patterns of light that ripple out at the speed of sound.</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b>METAHEART</b>，by Johnny Crash</p><p class="ql-block">A mirror-clad, three dimensional sculpture that rises 23′ from the ground, reflecting the love and energy of the community. Three arching stainless steel arms form a heart motif, and at it’s center hangs a rotating structure in the ancient geometric shape of a Metatron’s cube. METAHEART invites the viewer to reflect on and expand beyond the confines of their heart. By looking inward, we see beyond ourselves and our perceived constraints to connection. The piece symbolizes the discovery of love, for the self and others, in every axis and plane, across time, space and infinity.</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b><span class="ql-cursor">?</span>Awake</b>, by Collyns Stenzel, Jeremy Moreland, James Baxter, Shawn Silverman</p><p class="ql-block">An installation featuring a colossal Eye, pulsating with video art. It stands in the open playa, gazing towards the effigy, aligning with the theme ‘Curiouser & Curiouser.’ The Eye, vibrant and intricate, unravels new mysteries daily, symbolizing awakening and interconnectedness. It serves as a metaphor for the portal to higher understanding, reflecting a collective journey towards love and enlightenment. </p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b>Kaleidoscope Hole</b>, by Michaela Hares</p><p class="ql-block">Taking from the theme of this year’s Burning Man, Kaleidoscope Hole (as its name suggests) brings up thoughts of curiosity, infinity, psychedelia, creativity, and mischief. It is an endless void of changing colors and patterns, where participants can lose themselves for the time that they choose to live within its world. Or they can partake in the creation of colors and movement by touching and spinning the Kaleidoscope Hole rings.</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b><span class="ql-cursor">?</span>Down the Rabbit Hole</b>，by Darrell Ansted and Katie D'Arcangelo</p><p class="ql-block">A 10′ tunnel of steel rings, each 8 feet in diameter, aglow with LED lights leading to a 10-foot tall, polygon-faceted rabbit of reflective stainless steel on a? LED interactive floor, dancing to the rhythm of sounds. The installation is a beacon of invitation, reflection, and chromatic bursts. The metaphorical “Down the Rabbit Hole” invites a journey into the unknown, igniting curiosity and discovery, urging them to shed the constraints of time and societal norms to embrace the joy, play, and wonder of exploration. </p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b>Mariposa</b>, by Christopher Schardt</p><p class="ql-block">A 26′ wide aluminum butterfly, hovering 15′ overhead, with 39,000 LEDs. The tower that holds it aloft has an 8′ wide porch swing. When visitors swing on it, the motion makes the wings flap, making Mariposa uniquely interactive and immersive. The animated patterns displayed on the LEDs are chosen to choreograph pieces of classical music, played by four speakers disguised as flower pots.</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b><span class="ql-cursor">?</span>Nova Heaven</b>, by Omri Sasi and Sarel Botavia</p><p class="ql-block">“Nova Heaven” is a poignant tribute to the 407 lives lost at the Super Nova Festival and 2 other music events on October 7th, 2023. This vibrant installation replicates the festival’s iconic shade structure, symbolizing the intention of the event itself: friendship, love, and freedom. “Nova Heaven” invites participants to connect with memories, find solace, and draw strength from the shared human spirit, embodying resilience and hope, and spreading light and love.</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b>Release, </b>by Dana Albany</p><p class="ql-block">A contemplative sculpture that seamlessly intertwines the female figure with the delicate symbolism of butterflies. Crafted meticulously from a diverse array of butterfly species, this sculpture tells a profound story of liberation, metamorphosis, and the boundless potential inherent in all. The dynamic interplay between the female figure and the butterflies illustrates the symbiotic relationship between personal growth, transformation, and the liberation of one’s spirit. It serves as a reminder of the power gained by letting go, as the butterflies are released above.</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b><span class="ql-cursor">?</span>Banana for Scale</b>，by Caroline Kamm</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b>?Naga and The Captainess</b>，by Cjay Roughgarden, Stephanie Shipman, and Jackie Scott</p><p class="ql-block">Deep in the Black Rock Ocean, treasure and cargo are streaming out of the broken hull of a ship – the Aldrovanda. The ship belongs to an adventuress, who travels the world in search of knowledge, treasure, and botanical curiosities. She ferries cargo to distant ports to fund her travels. But something has gone wrong! The ship is sinking, and looming above is a giant sea serpent, looking intently for someone or something. His name is Naga, a treasure-protecting serpent, sworn to guard something that was on the ship. Did he sink it? Or is he there to help? What will we learn about the enigmatic captain from her quarters? What stories will be told around the fires? What will we discover in the treasure chests, floating into the waves?</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b><span class="ql-cursor">?</span>Celestial Syzygy Garden</b>，by Shane and Toby Robinson and Family</p><p class="ql-block">You spot two large Saguaro cacti and an apparatus rising up from the landscape. Approaching, you find stunning, beautifully realistic Saguaro, Ocotillo, Organ Pipe, Joshua Tree, Prickly Pear, and Barrel cacti in a circle around a massive swinging platform. Swings, benches, and posts make an octagon shape with light “stars” hanging above. Surfaces of the swings, benches, and posts have sun, moon, star, and deity cut-outs with lights inside. You rest and interact with other Burners; at first sitting by yourself on the benches revitalizing your soul, then lounging on the swings intermingling with all. </p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b>?The Reckoning</b>，by Julia Jerome</p><p class="ql-block">A deer skull sweeps its antlers into a ring to encircle those who stand upon a platform to look into its eyes, enrapturing them in a thrumming soundscape. The Reckoning invites us to grapple with the inescapable nature of our own mortality—to find solace and beauty in the culminating experience that binds us in our shared humanity. It serves as a sanctuary, and a space to confront the fears and sorrows that global and personal crises have laid bare.</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b><span class="ql-cursor">?</span>Pipedream</b>，by Smash and the Swingers</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b>?I Have Dust In Curious Places</b>，by Scott Copernicus</p><p class="ql-block">Dust is getting into Curiouser & Curiouser places(photo by @chuchuwithlove)</p> 夢幻光色 <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">黑石城的清晨沐浴在旭日中，騎車在Playa上，像是行在夢境中！</p> 各領(lǐng)風(fēng)騷的燒人們 <p class="ql-block">這位老人80多歲了，多年的老燒人，就住在小轎車?yán)铮?lt;/p> 夕陽下的 playa <p class="ql-block">傍晚的playa, 到處彌漫著歡樂的音樂和浪漫的氣息。人們躲過下午的嬌陽后，紛紛出來享受一天里最愜意的時光。</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><a href="http://www.52010000.com.cn/56s5qib5" target="_blank">Live in the Moments @ 我的處女火人節(jié)（二）</a></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">謝謝閱讀欣賞！</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p>
