BURNINGMAN PROJECT...THE WINDSHIP
BRING THE WINDSHIP TO BURINGMAN 2015 (yep 2015)
The WINDSHIP is a steel kinetic interactive metal sculpture created by renown Fair Oaks artists, Phill and Will Evans. http://phillevans.com/kinetic-art/the-windship/
The Hawaii Version is video'd here http://www.artmusicjunction.org/whaleday2007-slide/index.html
WHAT IS THE WINDSHIP?
The Windship is a 4O feet long, steel kinetic sculpture that rotates slowly on a center axis about five feet off the ground. One end is a hammock, the other a keyboard stand. Up to 4 people can lay in the hammock, (the weight difference is counter balanced with hanging baskets of stones) and escape into the music supplied by the DJ or musician on the other end via headphones. The music played differs on the DJ or creator playing at the time. The Windship makes musical notes and sounds as well and has sails to create motion, but not much, utilizing the wind.
We will also bring to The Burn, The Breathwork Sound Bath, a sacred ceremony featuring gongs and other sacred instruments. https://www.facebook.com/guy.douglas.7?fref=ts. and integrate that amazing experience into the Windship experience by building a dome like structure on the hammock end.
We will also bring several large geometric sculptures and other kinetic pieces made by our artists to surround The Windship........
Our theme camp will be interactive with many interactive community art projects in all different mediums, improvisational theater and musical instruments with musical guides as part of our camp.
Our funding will cover adding some fish art work, an LED lighting array and perhaps a fire element to The Windship creating a Burn specific installation. The funding will also include our group, transportation, (not cheap to take this thing anywhere) and supplies etc for our crewe.
We are also looking for committed people to join our crewe.
HOW THIS FUNDS:
WE WILL USE TESS, OUR TESSELLATION AS THE PLATFORM FOR OUR DONATION PROGRAM.
We will cut out 1,000 versions of Tess, two designs, to create a large tessellating jigsaw puzzle. These will be made of plywood and be joined by bisquits.... 18 inches long and wide. We then offer them for $ 20.00 a piece with 5 dollars covering costs and ten going towards funding.
Through the donor program, we will build an incredible dance floor and structure using the materials created by you. The funders..... all to be assembled at the Burn. Of course all pieces will be tracked and photo'd so you will be able to find your piece on the installation at the Playa.
WHAT YOU WILL DO:
Buy a tess. Either at an event (See our schedule) or through the mail. We have designed them to be inexpensively shipped so that is an option. All tess's come with instructions on type of paint recommended and some instructions and suggestions and ideas, but we really want to see your creativity come through so do what ever you want. Paint it, put glitter on it. Finish it. BRING IT TO THE PLAYA. or mail it to us so we can start placing the installation. . Come to our camp with it. It will then be placed on the dance floor of our camp and surrounding the WINDSHIP.. And we will dance it off........And use them again. And Again.
sign up to DJ or play the WINDSHIP. (LIFETIME donor program with DJ spots?)..........
Any funds collected past expenses will be go towards buying a dome 50 foot dome for the Make A Fish Foundation camp and WINDSHIP and 50% donated to the BurningMan Foundation.
