Molecular Constellation
The Molecular Constellation was a Burning Seed 2018 art installation that combined unique geometric shapes, black lights (UV), optical illusions of anti-gravity and some advanced electronics & software architecture. A team of 20+ artists made this dream happen – following the successful cooperation of Darby Bicheno and myself in several Burn projects the Molecular Constellation was born. But, in this journey, between our “start” and “finish” points there wasn’t a straight line, if at all it was a maze –
2017 – SadoPunk – LED piston based respiratory system
Melbourne regional burning man there was “Deep Space” and for the decompression party that was my costume. In the last couple of years I’ve been working in the medical field, mostly on LVADs – Left Ventricular Assist Device (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_assist_device) I was deeply influenced by it and wanted to make some kind of respiratory/heart-lungs machine as a costume, after some thought the Hummus Pistons project (Now SadoPunk 🙂 ) was burn. The idea was simple, some king of Mad-Max mechanical
2016 – SpaceCorn – Burning SEED (Australia) artwork
Regional burns are a new-old thing that spread like a brush fire in the recent years. Burning SEED is South eastern Aussie Burn (Happens in New South Wales state) and this year the theme was Deep Space. As a super nerd with deep love to SciFi and the fact that I love the outdoors, grow up in a rural area and my mother runs a nursery plants the connection looked obvious – some kind of alien plant. Meet the team:
2015 – Warlock costume – Staff & invisibility cloak
When this project was started what I had in mind is some kind of invisibility cloak. Unfortunately it not existing yet bet the closest thing I can do is an invisibility cloak at night. I played more with the idea and it evolved more and for Burning man 2015 I built warlock costume. This costume is made out of two parts – staff and color changing cloak. The staff controls the cloak wirelessly and it has different features by
2015 – LED cannon
Gifting is one of the 10 principles of Midbun (Israel regional Burning man) and a great way to give a gift is by hand it over with a cannon 🙂 The idea is simple yet impressive: Build an enlarged potato cannon, stuff it with flying/hovering/rotating LEDs and fire it. The LEDs would fly and drop like rain for couple of second and the participants at Midburn will collect it and use it at a night accessory. This is how it
2014 – Tutu skirt that reacts to sound
For a Midburn 2014 Decompression party I wanted to make something special. I wanted to created a wearable clothe that response to its environment. I choose sound because the tutu skirt was meant to be worn during a party.. party = good music, so I wanted the tutu skirt react to it. Here is a short video of it at work: The tutu itself was hand made by Amihay Gonen (thanks buddy!) – this is an important detail, because during that
2015 – Spark2Sound
For Midbrun 2015 (Israel regional Burning man) I joined a theme camp and decided to build an art installation for it. I built a musical instrument that generates sound through spark igniters. The spark igniters generates each keynote by begin installed in a perspex (PMMA) tube. I bought 3 meters of 60mm perspex pipe and calculated the length required for each pipe’s in order to generates the right sound for each keynote. I used epoxy resin to glue a bottom
2015 – Melbourne white night – Crucible dragon project
In January-March 2015 I went on a vacation and visit a close friend who lives in Melbourne. Couple of months before my flight I contacted a group of local artists from the international Burning man community. I got to know the Crucible project through the regional Burning Man in Israel (aka MidBurn). Luck was in my favor, at exactly the same dates that I was planning to visit Melbourne it appeared to me that they are planning to work on a
