Wakarusa Art Installations 2012 - We Need Your Help!

[Katiegirl3]

I agree with the map thing (not that i can make it happen, but idea is great) We would need a world map though as we have some Aussies coming. Pretty simple to do wouldn't it be?

I wouldnt be able to make it happen either, just throwing some ideas out
Whatever art project is choosen I'd love to be involved, perhaps we could get a group together to make something happen? Just a thought

Something that I was looking at was possible Guiness book records that we could break. Any silly record that took anywhere from 200 to 2000 people to break. It would be hugely interactive, and it could get

Wakarusa some free press. Some of the records I looked at were longest salsa line 418 people, most people dancing with hula hoops is only 679 people. We could shatter that record.

longest cha cha cha, longest anything dance related. Then there is the biggest human knot 2,012 people.

Battlestar, I'm totally with you on breaking a world record.... I think that would be super duper fantastic!

We could break the worlds longest glow stick chain? or make a giant glow stick design? i was actually at Bonnaroo last year and there were a few people trying to do this but they didn't succeed... there were literally thousands coating the ground after STS9 at 6:30am but the few people trying to rally the zombies together for help didn't have much luck at all haha.

It might be a good way for people to contribute a little bit on the pick up too, maybe put out a couple glow-stick bins in obvious places?

just spitballin' here...

What about making a gigantic balloon tunnel? It could be a maze or simply a super long winding tunnel. The picture above (if I linked it properly) is pretty trippy with the colored lights reflecting off white ballons, or if no lights are available doing it maybe in a rainbow pattern. They are simple enough to make (any high school prom committee can do it). I imagine by sunday half those suckers may have popped in the heat, but it would be fantastic the first couple of days!

if we really got behind the record idea we could make it happen.. print off some flyers with a time and place and record and pass em out down the lines to get in...

We are aiming to build a traveling temple built out of nothing but wood, cut into intricate patterns, such as, sacred geometry, crop circles, and mandalas.Painted by us, and each and every artist that contributes in some way. The temple is designed in the Fibonacci Spiral and when put together looks like a 4th dimensional pine cone. The temple is going to be a decent size, big enough for 20 people to be inside of at once. Inside of the temple is going to be FULLY rigged with color changing LED's that anyone is able to control the colors by pressing buttons on a panel inside of the temple. The color changing lights will be causing the painted structure to breath and melt. We plan to integrate music playing at special frequencies that are the in the same mathematical sequence as the temple itself. The temple can hold workshops, an art gallery or just be an inter-active art installation. We have access to all the means necessary to make this happen (blue-prints, CNC machine, ect) Expect for proper funds. We have a kick starter launched to raise the funds, the project has a little more than 1,000 likes on facebook, and lots of people hoping to be able to experience it.

Here is a video of the temple to be-

I'm not sure if I got the videos to work in the thread, so I'm sorry if you have to click a new link to watch, but it's worth it

Woah.. That temple looks amazing. I would LOVE to see that at waka

[BrienM13]

agreed, that looks incredible.

Would you be building it at Waka or are you building it elsewhere and bringing it in to be assembled?
