==Further Considerations on Paint==
===Orange===
A double coat (no primer needed) of [https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Professional-1-gal-High-Performance-Protective-Enamel-Gloss-Safety-Orange-Oil-Based-Interior-Exterior-Paint-2-Pack-7555402/202663270 Safety Orange] works well for painted wooden elements destined to be exposed to the sun such as [[CoSign#D25|CoSign modules]]. 

===Pink===
Pantone 806 C (HEX #FF0088) is a neon pink that’s extremely vibrant and saturated—it’s part of Pantone’s fluorescent color series, which means it often can’t be perfectly reproduced in standard CMYK or RGB paints. However, there are close approximations in commercial paint lines that get visually similar in most lighting conditions.

Closest Paint Match Options:

Here are some near matches you can look for in widely available paint brands:

⸻

Benjamin Moore – “Hot Lips” (2005-30)
• A vivid, electric pink with a blue undertone.
• One of the closest matches in terms of boldness and warmth.
• Slightly less fluorescent but very punchy.

⸻

Sherwin-Williams – “Exuberant Pink” (SW 6840)
• Deep, saturated fuchsia-pink.
• Slightly darker but maintains that neon pink vibrancy.

⸻

Behr – “Positively Pink” (S-G-110)
• A bright and energetic pink, though slightly softer.
• Easier to find at Home Depot.

⸻

Montana Gold Spray Paint – “Pink Pink”
• If you’re open to spray paint, Montana Gold’s “Pink Pink” is closer to neon pink/fuchsia and visually very close to Pantone 806 C.

⸻

Notes on Fluorescence:
• Pantone 806 C is fluorescent, which means it reflects more UV light than standard pigments.
• Regular paints can’t replicate this “glow” unless you use fluorescent or UV-reactive paints like those from:
• Wildfire (for blacklight use)
• Rosco Fluorescent Paints

⸻

Pro Tip:

If you’re trying to match this exactly for a brand or art piece, and fluorescence is essential, you’ll need a UV-reactive or fluorescent acrylic or vinyl ink, not just regular wall paint.

A Collaborative Sign by Disorient campers

==Description==
====CoSign: A Collaborative Sign by Disorient====

CoSign is a large-scale, three-dimensional rendering of the word Disorient, brought to life through clusters of wooden “pixels”—each one a handcrafted box painted Disorient orange and lit from within. 

Each pixel measures 23” wide × 23” tall × 11” deep and houses a single orange LED bulb. By night, they glow brightly. By day, they stand tall. The letters are designed to be supported by a simple metal framework—pallet racks, scaffolding, or whatever’s clever. 

====A Gentle Provocation in a Loud Landscape====

In an era when LED art has evolved into a full-blown spectacle—often dazzling, often complex—CoSign offers something different: a pause. A breath. A chance to step back. 

Created by Disorient, a collective that helped usher LED art onto the playa in the early 2000s thanks to co-founder and light artist [http://villareal.net Leo Villareal], CoSign is consciously and intentionally low-tech. 

Since our beginning in 2001, Disorient has been known for pushing light into new dimensions. But now that LEDs have gone mainstream—and the race for the brightest, biggest, and most intricately sequenced never seems to end—we decided it was time to dial it back. 

So we went back to basics. 

====Binary Beauty====

CoSign isn’t animated. It doesn’t flash or dazzle. It simply turns on. Or off. That’s it. 

In its refusal to perform, CoSign reveals the quiet elegance of binary logic—the same principle that underlies all LED art, and all digital life. It invites you to rediscover the poetry of simple presence and absence. 

Sometimes, the most illuminating act is to not chase spectacle. 

====Form, Function, and Freedom====

CoSign is designed with two clear goals in mind: 
1. To capture attention from a distance, and 
2. To invite meaningful interaction up close. 

To achieve this, the sign’s size and pixel proportions are consistent across the entire structure—ensuring legibility and impact. But how each pixel is built? That’s where things get interesting. 

In fact, we encourage variation. Construction isn’t just fabrication—it’s expression. Each builder brings their own style, quirks, and energy to their module. This diversity becomes visible and meaningful when experienced up close, turning the structure into a mosaic of creative fingerprints. 

====Built by Many, Made for All====

CoSign is more than a sign—it’s a collaborative canvas. 

Anyone helping bring it to life is welcome to leave their mark, so long as the overall coherence holds. Beyond construction, campers are invited to personalize individual pixels with small 2D or 3D [[Pornj]] objects that live inside the boxes—surrounding, but not blocking, the light. 

These contributions can be sculptures, paintings, collages, written memories—each one a tiny altar to a Disorient moment, story, or feeling. 

====CoSign is Disorient====

It doesn’t just spell our name—it reflects who we are. A collection of individuals creating something bright, bold, and beautifully communal.

===The Notch===
All 3/4” plywood items (B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K) need 3/4” triangular notches all cut on one side for electrical cables. Notches start at 1 foot from a short edge and are cut every 2 feet. Notches are usually cut with a jigsaw.

Due to the rain at Burning Man 2023 we were not able to assemble the "S" at D23. We used the plywood elements that we had prepared for CoSign to create walking paths in camp to address the mud problem after several days of rain. DGFT volunteered to fabricate those elements again and connect them into modules for the "Ess" ready to be transported to the playa for D25 following our D23 plans and cut list.

====On-site installation notes====
In 2022 and 2023, we used long boards (2x4s and 2x6s) in the back of CoSign to help hold modules together better. This installation technique resulted in damaged modules during disengage. 

In 2024 we decided to try assembling each letter in place one module at a time instead of assembling the entire letter and raising it up against the pallet rack. This resulted in almost no damage to the modules. It was a little harder to install the higher modules but overall this seems to be a safer and less damaging way to install CoSign.

==Lighting for the D - Spring 2022 by Vadim==
Here are 2 options for 54 individually addressable pixels depending on power situation. 

===Big generator===
If this is near the big generator it’s really easy to do it with completely rentable gear. 

DIMMER RENTAL 
You rent this guy - it’s a 48x 2.4 kilowatt dimmer rack: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/2008/etc-48-x-2k-sensor-rack-cem- 
Then you add one of these: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/47398/etc-sensor-12-x-2-4kw-dimmer-rack 
It’s a 12 rack - so now you’re at 60 dimmers total 

I gotta ask for a price quote. Renting big dimmers likely less expensive than buying small ones - unless you already have the small ones. 

CABLE TO BULB 
Then you use this type of cable to go to the bulbs: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/86/12-14-multi-cable-150- (750 USD) 
https://www.usedlighting.com/14467/edison-break-out-6- (140 USD) 

===Small generator===
If it’s gotta run off a 7k put-put genny it’s gonna to be done off dimmers that would likely have to be purchased. If you’re out in playa and you’re using a small generator with a photo cell and or timer you need the type of genny that can kick itself on under load 

DIMMER PURCHASE (2,000 USD) 
You have to buy 10 of these and use regular zip (lamp) cord and I would just get a spool and connectors and custom make it for length. 
https://goknight.com/Chauvet-dj-dmx-4/ 

DATA CABLE 
Oh you would also need a data cable to link the dimmers -So you would need 9’ of these - these we can buy new or used - also re-usable 
https://www.usedlighting.com/13526/5-pin-dmx-cable-25-5-Pin 

===Common to both options (~1100 USD total)===
16/2 CABLE (350 USD) 
[[Image:20230728ElectricCableFromHomeDepot.png|300px]] 

PORCELAIN SOCKET (150 USD) 
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-600-Watt-250-Volt-White-Outlet-Box-Lampholder-R50-49875-000/207106566 
[[Image:20230728PorcelainSocketFromHomeDepot.png|300px]] 

BULB (220 USD) 
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Sunlite-60-Watt-Equivalent-A19-Dimmable-Filament-E26-Medium-Base-LED-Orange-Light-Bulbs-6-Pack-HD02270-3/312593793

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-15-Amp-125-Volt-3-Wire-Plug-Orange-R51-515PV-0OR/205165505 

SEQUENCE CONTROLLER (140 USD) 
Then we can use my console or whatever computer gadget you want to generate the DMX sequence for whatever length you want - I usually aim for 10 minutes and make it look nice 
And we can use one of these to essentially be the VCR that played the DMX show back over and over and over again on a loop: 
https://www.newlighting.com/32537/new-chauvet-dj-dmx-rt 
You have to provide a microSD card for it 

PHOTO CELL (40 USD) 
Finally, you out it in a timer or a photo cell so that it turns on at dusk. And turns off at daylight. Or your run it forever or if it’s in camp you just go turn it on:

==Description==
====CoSign: A Collaborative Sign by Disorient====

CoSign is a large-scale, three-dimensional rendering of the word Disorient, brought to life through clusters of wooden “pixels”—each one a handcrafted box painted Disorient orange and lit from within. 

Each pixel measures 23” wide × 23” tall × 11” deep and houses a single orange LED bulb. By night, they glow brightly. By day, they stand tall. The letters are designed to be supported by a simple metal framework—pallet racks, scaffolding, or whatever’s clever. 

====A Gentle Provocation in a Loud Landscape====

In an era when LED art has evolved into a full-blown spectacle—often dazzling, often complex—CoSign offers something different: a pause. A breath. A chance to step back. 

Created by Disorient, a collective that helped usher LED art onto the playa in the early 2000s thanks to co-founder and light artist [http://villareal.net Leo Villareal], CoSign is consciously and intentionally low-tech. 

Since our beginning in 2001, Disorient has been known for pushing light into new dimensions. But now that LEDs have gone mainstream—and the race for the brightest, biggest, and most intricately sequenced never seems to end—we decided it was time to dial it back. 

So we went back to basics. 

====Binary Beauty====

CoSign isn’t animated. It doesn’t flash or dazzle. It simply turns on. Or off. That’s it. 

In its refusal to perform, CoSign reveals the quiet elegance of binary logic—the same principle that underlies all LED art, and all digital life. It invites you to rediscover the poetry of simple presence and absence. 

Sometimes, the most illuminating act is to not chase spectacle. 

====Form, Function, and Freedom====

CoSign is designed with two clear goals in mind: 
1. To capture attention from a distance, and 
2. To invite meaningful interaction up close. 

To achieve this, the sign’s size and pixel proportions are consistent across the entire structure—ensuring legibility and impact. But how each pixel is built? That’s where things get interesting. 

In fact, we encourage variation. Construction isn’t just fabrication—it’s expression. Each builder brings their own style, quirks, and energy to their module. This diversity becomes visible and meaningful when experienced up close, turning the structure into a mosaic of creative fingerprints. 

====Built by Many, Made for All====

CoSign is more than a sign—it’s a collaborative canvas. 

Anyone helping bring it to life is welcome to leave their mark, so long as the overall coherence holds. Beyond construction, campers are invited to personalize individual pixels with small 2D or 3D [[Pornj]] objects that live inside the boxes—surrounding, but not blocking, the light. 

These contributions can be sculptures, paintings, collages, written memories—each one a tiny altar to a Disorient moment, story, or feeling. 

====CoSign is Disorient====

It doesn’t just spell our name—it reflects who we are. A collection of individuals creating something bright, bold, and beautifully communal.

===The Notch===
All 3/4” plywood items (B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K) need 3/4” triangular notches all cut on one side for electrical cables. Notches start at 1 foot from a short edge and are cut every 2 feet. Notches are usually cut with a jigsaw.

Due to the rain at Burning Man 2023 we were not able to assemble the "S" at D23. We used the plywood elements that we had prepared for CoSign to create walking paths in camp to address the mud problem after several days of rain. DGFT volunteered to fabricate those elements again and connect them into modules for the "Ess" ready to be transported to the playa for D25 following our D23 plans and cut list.

==Lighting for the D - Spring 2022 by Vadim==
Here are 2 options for 54 individually addressable pixels depending on power situation. 

===Big generator===
If this is near the big generator it’s really easy to do it with completely rentable gear. 

DIMMER RENTAL 
You rent this guy - it’s a 48x 2.4 kilowatt dimmer rack: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/2008/etc-48-x-2k-sensor-rack-cem- 
Then you add one of these: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/47398/etc-sensor-12-x-2-4kw-dimmer-rack 
It’s a 12 rack - so now you’re at 60 dimmers total 

I gotta ask for a price quote. Renting big dimmers likely less expensive than buying small ones - unless you already have the small ones. 

CABLE TO BULB 
Then you use this type of cable to go to the bulbs: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/86/12-14-multi-cable-150- (750 USD) 
https://www.usedlighting.com/14467/edison-break-out-6- (140 USD) 

===Small generator===
If it’s gotta run off a 7k put-put genny it’s gonna to be done off dimmers that would likely have to be purchased. If you’re out in playa and you’re using a small generator with a photo cell and or timer you need the type of genny that can kick itself on under load 

DIMMER PURCHASE (2,000 USD) 
You have to buy 10 of these and use regular zip (lamp) cord and I would just get a spool and connectors and custom make it for length. 
https://goknight.com/Chauvet-dj-dmx-4/ 

DATA CABLE 
Oh you would also need a data cable to link the dimmers -So you would need 9’ of these - these we can buy new or used - also re-usable 
https://www.usedlighting.com/13526/5-pin-dmx-cable-25-5-Pin 

===Common to both options (~1100 USD total)===
16/2 CABLE (350 USD)

SEQUENCE CONTROLLER (140 USD) 
Then we can use my console or whatever computer gadget you want to generate the DMX sequence for whatever length you want - I usually aim for 10 minutes and make it look nice 
And we can use one of these to essentially be the VCR that played the DMX show back over and over and over again on a loop: 
https://www.newlighting.com/32537/new-chauvet-dj-dmx-rt 
You have to provide a microSD card for it 

PHOTO CELL (40 USD) 
Finally, you out it in a timer or a photo cell so that it turns on at dusk. And turns off at daylight. Or your run it forever or if it’s in camp you just go turn it on:

==Description==
====CoSign: A Collaborative Sign by Disorient====

CoSign is a large-scale, three-dimensional rendering of the word Disorient, brought to life through clusters of wooden “pixels”—each one a handcrafted box painted Disorient orange and lit from within. 

Each pixel measures 23” wide × 23” tall × 11” deep and houses a single orange LED bulb. By night, they glow brightly. By day, they stand tall. The letters are designed to be supported by a simple metal framework—pallet racks, scaffolding, or whatever’s clever. 

====A Gentle Provocation in a Loud Landscape====

In an era when LED art has evolved into a full-blown spectacle—often dazzling, often complex—CoSign offers something different: a pause. A breath. A chance to step back. 

Created by Disorient, a collective that helped usher LED art onto the playa in the early 2000s thanks to co-founder and light artist [http://villareal.net Leo Villareal], CoSign is consciously and intentionally low-tech. 

Since our beginning in 2001, Disorient has been known for pushing light into new dimensions. But now that LEDs have gone mainstream—and the race for the brightest, biggest, and most intricately sequenced never seems to end—we decided it was time to dial it back. 

So we went back to basics. 

====Binary Beauty====

CoSign isn’t animated. It doesn’t flash or dazzle. It simply turns on. Or off. That’s it. 

In its refusal to perform, CoSign reveals the quiet elegance of binary logic—the same principle that underlies all LED art, and all digital life. It invites you to rediscover the poetry of simple presence and absence. 

Sometimes, the most illuminating act is to not chase spectacle. 

====Form, Function, and Freedom====

CoSign is designed with two clear goals in mind: 
1. To capture attention from a distance, and 
2. To invite meaningful interaction up close. 

To achieve this, the sign’s size and pixel proportions are consistent across the entire structure—ensuring legibility and impact. But how each pixel is built? That’s where things get interesting. 

In fact, we encourage variation. Construction isn’t just fabrication—it’s expression. Each builder brings their own style, quirks, and energy to their module. This diversity becomes visible and meaningful when experienced up close, turning the structure into a mosaic of creative fingerprints. 

====Built by Many, Made for All====

CoSign is more than a sign—it’s a collaborative canvas. 

Anyone helping bring it to life is welcome to leave their mark, so long as the overall coherence holds. Beyond construction, campers are invited to personalize individual pixels with small 2D or 3D [[Pornj]] objects that live inside the boxes—surrounding, but not blocking, the light. 

These contributions can be sculptures, paintings, collages, written memories—each one a tiny altar to a Disorient moment, story, or feeling. 

====CoSign is Disorient====

It doesn’t just spell our name—it reflects who we are. A collection of individuals creating something bright, bold, and beautifully communal.

===The Notch===
All 3/4” plywood items (B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K) need 3/4” triangular notches all cut on one side for electrical cables. Notches start at 1 foot from a short edge and are cut every 2 feet. Notches are usually cut with a jigsaw.

Due to the rain at Burning Man 2023 we were not able to assemble the "S" at D23. We used the plywood elements that we had prepared for CoSign to create walking paths in camp to address the mud problem after several days of rain. DGFT volunteered to fabricate those elements again and connect them into modules for the "Ess" ready to be transported to the playa for D25 following our D23 plans and cut list.

====On-site installation notes====
In 2022 and 2023, we used long boards (2x4s and 2x6s) in the back of CoSign to help hold modules together better. This installation technique resulted in damaged modules during disengage. 

In 2024 we decided to try assembling each letter in place one module at a time instead of assembling the entire letter and raising it up against the pallet rack. This resulted in almost no damage to the modules. It was a little harder to install the higher modules but overall this seems to be a safer and less damaging way to install CoSign.

==Description==
====CoSign: A Collaborative Sign by Disorient====

CoSign is a large-scale, three-dimensional rendering of the word Disorient, brought to life through clusters of wooden “pixels”—each one a handcrafted box painted Disorient orange and lit from within. 

Each pixel measures 23” wide × 23” tall × 11” deep and houses a single orange LED bulb. By night, they glow brightly. By day, they stand tall. The letters are designed to be supported by a simple metal framework—pallet racks, scaffolding, or whatever’s clever. 

====A Gentle Provocation in a Loud Landscape====

In an era when LED art has evolved into a full-blown spectacle—often dazzling, often complex—CoSign offers something different: a pause. A breath. A chance to step back. 

Created by Disorient, a collective that helped usher LED art onto the playa in the early 2000s thanks to co-founder and light artist [http://villareal.net Leo Villareal], CoSign is consciously and intentionally low-tech. 

Since our beginning in 2001, Disorient has been known for pushing light into new dimensions. But now that LEDs have gone mainstream—and the race for the brightest, biggest, and most intricately sequenced never seems to end—we decided it was time to dial it back. 

So we went back to basics. 

====Binary Beauty====

CoSign isn’t animated. It doesn’t flash or dazzle. It simply turns on. Or off. That’s it. 

In its refusal to perform, CoSign reveals the quiet elegance of binary logic—the same principle that underlies all LED art, and all digital life. It invites you to rediscover the poetry of simple presence and absence. 

Sometimes, the most illuminating act is to not chase spectacle. 

====Form, Function, and Freedom====

CoSign is designed with two clear goals in mind: 
1. To capture attention from a distance, and 
2. To invite meaningful interaction up close. 

To achieve this, the sign’s size and pixel proportions are consistent across the entire structure—ensuring legibility and impact. But how each pixel is built? That’s where things get interesting. 

In fact, we encourage variation. Construction isn’t just fabrication—it’s expression. Each builder brings their own style, quirks, and energy to their module. This diversity becomes visible and meaningful when experienced up close, turning the structure into a mosaic of creative fingerprints. 

====Built by Many, Made for All====

CoSign is more than a sign—it’s a collaborative canvas. 

Anyone helping bring it to life is welcome to leave their mark, so long as the overall coherence holds. Beyond construction, campers are invited to personalize individual pixels with small 2D or 3D [[Pornj]] objects that live inside the boxes—surrounding, but not blocking, the light. 

These contributions can be sculptures, paintings, collages, written memories—each one a tiny altar to a Disorient moment, story, or feeling. 

====CoSign is Disorient====

It doesn’t just spell our name—it reflects who we are. A collection of individuals creating something bright, bold, and beautifully communal.

===The Notch===
All 3/4” plywood items (B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K) need 3/4” triangular notches all cut on one side for electrical cables. Notches start at 1 foot from a short edge and are cut every 2 feet. Notches are usually cut with a jigsaw.

Due to the rain at Burning Man 2023 we were not able to assemble the "S" at D23. We used the plywood elements that we had prepared for CoSign to create walking paths in camp to address the mud problem after several days of rain. DGFT volunteered to fabricate those elements again and connect them into modules for the "Ess" ready to be transported to the playa for D25 following our D23 plans and cut list.

====On-site installation notes====
In 2022 and 2023, we used long boards (2x4s and 2x6s) in the back of CoSign to help hold modules together better. This installation technique resulted in damaged modules during disengage. 

In 2024 we decided to try assembling each letter in place one module at a time instead of assembling the entire letter and raising it up against the pallet rack. This resulted in almost no damage to the modules. It was a little harder to install the higher modules but overall this seems to be a safer and less damaging way to install CoSign.

==Lighting for the D - Spring 2022 by Vadim==
Here are 2 options for 54 individually addressable pixels depending on power situation. 

===Big generator===
If this is near the big generator it’s really easy to do it with completely rentable gear. 

DIMMER RENTAL 
You rent this guy - it’s a 48x 2.4 kilowatt dimmer rack: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/2008/etc-48-x-2k-sensor-rack-cem- 
Then you add one of these: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/47398/etc-sensor-12-x-2-4kw-dimmer-rack 
It’s a 12 rack - so now you’re at 60 dimmers total 

I gotta ask for a price quote. Renting big dimmers likely less expensive than buying small ones - unless you already have the small ones. 

CABLE TO BULB 
Then you use this type of cable to go to the bulbs: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/86/12-14-multi-cable-150- (750 USD) 
https://www.usedlighting.com/14467/edison-break-out-6- (140 USD) 

===Small generator===
If it’s gotta run off a 7k put-put genny it’s gonna to be done off dimmers that would likely have to be purchased. If you’re out in playa and you’re using a small generator with a photo cell and or timer you need the type of genny that can kick itself on under load 

DIMMER PURCHASE (2,000 USD) 
You have to buy 10 of these and use regular zip (lamp) cord and I would just get a spool and connectors and custom make it for length. 
https://goknight.com/Chauvet-dj-dmx-4/ 

DATA CABLE 
Oh you would also need a data cable to link the dimmers -So you would need 9’ of these - these we can buy new or used - also re-usable 
https://www.usedlighting.com/13526/5-pin-dmx-cable-25-5-Pin 

===Common to both options (~1100 USD total)===
16/2 CABLE (350 USD)

You have to provide a microSD card for it 

PHOTO CELL (40 USD)

==Description==
====CoSign: A Collaborative Sign by Disorient====

CoSign is a large-scale, three-dimensional rendering of the word Disorient, brought to life through clusters of wooden “pixels”—each one a handcrafted box painted Disorient orange and lit from within. 

Each pixel measures 23” wide × 23” tall × 11” deep and houses a single orange LED bulb. By night, they glow brightly. By day, they stand tall. The letters are designed to be supported by a simple metal framework—pallet racks, scaffolding, or whatever’s clever. 

====A Gentle Provocation in a Loud Landscape====

In an era when LED art has evolved into a full-blown spectacle—often dazzling, often complex—CoSign offers something different: a pause. A breath. A chance to step back. 

Created by Disorient, a collective that helped usher LED art onto the playa in the late 1990s thanks to co-founder and light artist [http://villareal.net Leo Villareal], CoSign is consciously and intentionally low-tech. 

Since our beginning in 2001, Disorient has been known for pushing light into new dimensions. But now that LEDs have gone mainstream—and the race for the brightest, biggest, and most intricately sequenced never seems to end—we decided it was time to dial it back. 

So we went back to basics. 

====Binary Beauty====

CoSign isn’t animated. It doesn’t flash or dazzle. It simply turns on. Or off. That’s it. 

In its refusal to perform, CoSign reveals the quiet elegance of binary logic—the same principle that underlies all LED art, and all digital life. It invites you to rediscover the poetry of simple presence and absence. 

Sometimes, the most illuminating act is to not chase spectacle. 

====Form, Function, and Freedom====

CoSign is designed with two clear goals in mind: 
1. To capture attention from a distance, and 
2. To invite meaningful interaction up close. 

To achieve this, the sign’s size and pixel proportions are consistent across the entire structure—ensuring legibility and impact. But how each pixel is built? That’s where things get interesting. 

In fact, we encourage variation. Construction isn’t just fabrication—it’s expression. Each builder brings their own style, quirks, and energy to their module. This diversity becomes visible and meaningful when experienced up close, turning the structure into a mosaic of creative fingerprints. 

====Built by Many, Made for All====

CoSign is more than a sign—it’s a collaborative canvas. 

Anyone helping bring it to life is welcome to leave their mark, so long as the overall coherence holds. Beyond construction, campers are invited to personalize individual pixels with small 2D or 3D [[Pornj]] objects that live inside the boxes—surrounding, but not blocking, the light. 

These contributions can be sculptures, paintings, collages, written memories—each one a tiny altar to a Disorient moment, story, or feeling. 

====CoSign is Disorient====

It doesn’t just spell our name—it reflects who we are. A collection of individuals creating something bright, bold, and beautifully communal.

All 3/4” plywood items (B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K) need 3/4” triangular notches all cut on one side for electrical cables. Notches start at 1 foot from a short edge and are cut every 2 feet. Notches are usually cut with a jigsaw.

Due to the rain at Burning Man 2023 we were not able to assemble the "S" at D23. We used the plywood elements that we had prepared for CoSign to create walking paths in camp to address the mud problem after several days of rain. DGFT volunteered to fabricate those elements again and connect them into modules for the "Ess" ready to be transported to the playa for D25 following our D23 plans and cut list.

====On-site installation notes====
In 2022 and 2023, we used long boards (2x4s and 2x6s) in the back of CoSign to help hold modules together better. This installation technique resulted in damaged modules during disengage. 

In 2024 we decided to try assembling each letter in place one module at a time instead of assembling the entire letter and raising it up against the pallet rack. This resulted in almost no damage to the modules. It was a little harder to install the higher modules but overall this seems to be a safer and less damaging way to install CoSign.

==Lighting for the D - Spring 2022 by Vadim==
Here are 2 options for 54 individually addressable pixels depending on power situation. 

===Big generator===
If this is near the big generator it’s really easy to do it with completely rentable gear. 

DIMMER RENTAL 
You rent this guy - it’s a 48x 2.4 kilowatt dimmer rack: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/2008/etc-48-x-2k-sensor-rack-cem- 
Then you add one of these: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/47398/etc-sensor-12-x-2-4kw-dimmer-rack 
It’s a 12 rack - so now you’re at 60 dimmers total 

I gotta ask for a price quote. Renting big dimmers likely less expensive than buying small ones - unless you already have the small ones. 

CABLE TO BULB 
Then you use this type of cable to go to the bulbs: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/86/12-14-multi-cable-150- (750 USD) 
https://www.usedlighting.com/14467/edison-break-out-6- (140 USD) 

===Small generator===
If it’s gotta run off a 7k put-put genny it’s gonna to be done off dimmers that would likely have to be purchased. If you’re out in playa and you’re using a small generator with a photo cell and or timer you need the type of genny that can kick itself on under load 

DIMMER PURCHASE (2,000 USD) 
You have to buy 10 of these and use regular zip (lamp) cord and I would just get a spool and connectors and custom make it for length. 
https://goknight.com/Chauvet-dj-dmx-4/ 

DATA CABLE 
Oh you would also need a data cable to link the dimmers -So you would need 9’ of these - these we can buy new or used - also re-usable 
https://www.usedlighting.com/13526/5-pin-dmx-cable-25-5-Pin 

===Common to both options (~1100 USD total)===
16/2 CABLE (350 USD) 
[[Image:20230728ElectricCableFromHomeDepot.png|300px]] 

PORCELAIN SOCKET (150 USD) 
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-600-Watt-250-Volt-White-Outlet-Box-Lampholder-R50-49875-000/207106566 
[[Image:20230728PorcelainSocketFromHomeDepot.png|300px]] 

BULB (220 USD) 
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Sunlite-60-Watt-Equivalent-A19-Dimmable-Filament-E26-Medium-Base-LED-Orange-Light-Bulbs-6-Pack-HD02270-3/312593793 

CONNECTOR (175 USD) 
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-15-Amp-125-Volt-3-Wire-Plug-Orange-R51-515PV-0OR/205165505 

SEQUENCE CONTROLLER (140 USD) 
Then we can use my console or whatever computer gadget you want to generate the DMX sequence for whatever length you want - I usually aim for 10 minutes and make it look nice 
And we can use one of these to essentially be the VCR that played the DMX show back over and over and over again on a loop: 
https://www.newlighting.com/32537/new-chauvet-dj-dmx-rt 
You have to provide a microSD card for it 

PHOTO CELL (40 USD) 
Finally, you out it in a timer or a photo cell so that it turns on at dusk. And turns off at daylight. Or your run it forever or if it’s in camp you just go turn it on: 
https://www.aqlightinggroup.com/outdoor-lighting/landscape-accessories/timers-controllers/commercial-grade-photocell/

==Description==
====CoSign: A Collaborative Sign by Disorient====

CoSign is a large-scale, three-dimensional rendering of the word Disorient, brought to life through clusters of wooden “pixels”—each one a handcrafted box painted Disorient orange and lit from within. 

Each pixel measures 23” wide × 23” tall × 11” deep and houses a single orange LED bulb. By night, they glow brightly. By day, they stand tall. The letters are designed to be supported by a simple metal framework—pallet racks, scaffolding, or whatever’s clever. 

====A Gentle Provocation in a Loud Landscape====

In an era when LED art has evolved into a full-blown spectacle—often dazzling, often complex—CoSign offers something different: a pause. A breath. A chance to step back. 

Created by Disorient, a collective that helped usher LED art onto the playa in the late 1990s thanks to co-founder and light artist [http://villareal.net Leo Villareal], CoSign is consciously and intentionally low-tech. 

Since our beginning in 2001, Disorient has been known for pushing light into new dimensions. But now that LEDs have gone mainstream—and the race for the brightest, biggest, and most intricately sequenced never seems to end—we decided it was time to dial it back. 

So we went back to basics. 

====Binary Beauty====

CoSign isn’t animated. It doesn’t flash or dazzle. It simply turns on. Or off. That’s it. 

In its refusal to perform, CoSign reveals the quiet elegance of binary logic—the same principle that underlies all LED art, and all digital life. It invites you to rediscover the poetry of simple presence and absence. 

Sometimes, the most illuminating act is to not chase spectacle. 

====Form, Function, and Freedom====

CoSign is designed with two clear goals in mind: 
1. To capture attention from a distance, and 
2. To invite meaningful interaction up close. 

To achieve this, the sign’s size and pixel proportions are consistent across the entire structure—ensuring legibility and impact. But how each pixel is built? That’s where things get interesting. 

In fact, we encourage variation. Construction isn’t just fabrication—it’s expression. Each builder brings their own style, quirks, and energy to their module. This diversity becomes visible and meaningful when experienced up close, turning the structure into a mosaic of creative fingerprints. 

====Built by Many, Made for All====

CoSign is more than a sign—it’s a collaborative canvas. 

Anyone helping bring it to life is welcome to leave their mark, so long as the overall coherence holds. Beyond construction, campers are invited to personalize individual pixels with small 2D or 3D [[Pornj]] objects that live inside the boxes—surrounding, but not blocking, the light. 

These contributions can be sculptures, paintings, collages, written memories—each one a tiny altar to a Disorient moment, story, or feeling. 

====CoSign is Disorient====

It doesn’t just spell our name—it reflects who we are. A collection of individuals creating something bright, bold, and beautifully communal.

====On-site installation notes====
In 2022 and 2023, we used long boards (2x4s and 2x6s) in the back of CoSign to help hold modules together better. This installation technique resulted in damaged modules during disengage. 

In 2024 we decided to try assembling each letter in place one module at a time instead of assembling the entire letter and raising it up against the pallet rack. This resulted in almost no damage to the modules. It was a little harder to install the higher modules but overall this seems to be a safer and less damaging way to install CoSign.

==Lighting for the D - Spring 2022 by Vadim==
Here are 2 options for 54 individually addressable pixels depending on power situation. 

===Big generator===
If this is near the big generator it’s really easy to do it with completely rentable gear. 

DIMMER RENTAL 
You rent this guy - it’s a 48x 2.4 kilowatt dimmer rack: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/2008/etc-48-x-2k-sensor-rack-cem- 
Then you add one of these: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/47398/etc-sensor-12-x-2-4kw-dimmer-rack 
It’s a 12 rack - so now you’re at 60 dimmers total 

I gotta ask for a price quote. Renting big dimmers likely less expensive than buying small ones - unless you already have the small ones. 

CABLE TO BULB 
Then you use this type of cable to go to the bulbs: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/86/12-14-multi-cable-150- (750 USD) 
https://www.usedlighting.com/14467/edison-break-out-6- (140 USD) 

===Small generator===
If it’s gotta run off a 7k put-put genny it’s gonna to be done off dimmers that would likely have to be purchased. If you’re out in playa and you’re using a small generator with a photo cell and or timer you need the type of genny that can kick itself on under load 

DIMMER PURCHASE (2,000 USD) 
You have to buy 10 of these and use regular zip (lamp) cord and I would just get a spool and connectors and custom make it for length. 
https://goknight.com/Chauvet-dj-dmx-4/ 

DATA CABLE 
Oh you would also need a data cable to link the dimmers -So you would need 9’ of these - these we can buy new or used - also re-usable 
https://www.usedlighting.com/13526/5-pin-dmx-cable-25-5-Pin 

===Common to both options (~1100 USD total)===
16/2 CABLE (350 USD) 
[[Image:20230728ElectricCableFromHomeDepot.png|300px]] 

PORCELAIN SOCKET (150 USD) 
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-600-Watt-250-Volt-White-Outlet-Box-Lampholder-R50-49875-000/207106566 
[[Image:20230728PorcelainSocketFromHomeDepot.png|300px]] 

BULB (220 USD) 
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Sunlite-60-Watt-Equivalent-A19-Dimmable-Filament-E26-Medium-Base-LED-Orange-Light-Bulbs-6-Pack-HD02270-3/312593793

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-15-Amp-125-Volt-3-Wire-Plug-Orange-R51-515PV-0OR/205165505 

SEQUENCE CONTROLLER (140 USD) 
Then we can use my console or whatever computer gadget you want to generate the DMX sequence for whatever length you want - I usually aim for 10 minutes and make it look nice 
And we can use one of these to essentially be the VCR that played the DMX show back over and over and over again on a loop: 
https://www.newlighting.com/32537/new-chauvet-dj-dmx-rt 
You have to provide a microSD card for it 

PHOTO CELL (40 USD) 
Finally, you out it in a timer or a photo cell so that it turns on at dusk. And turns off at daylight. Or your run it forever or if it’s in camp you just go turn it on: 
https://www.aqlightinggroup.com/outdoor-lighting/landscape-accessories/timers-controllers/commercial-grade-photocell/

==Description==
====CoSign: A Collaborative Sign by Disorient====

CoSign is a large-scale, three-dimensional rendering of the word Disorient, brought to life through clusters of wooden “pixels”—each one a handcrafted box painted Disorient orange and lit from within. 

Each pixel measures 23” wide × 23” tall × 11” deep and houses a single orange LED bulb. By night, they glow brightly. By day, they stand tall. The letters are designed to be supported by a simple metal framework—pallet racks, scaffolding, or whatever’s clever. 

====A Gentle Provocation in a Loud Landscape====

In an era when LED art has evolved into a full-blown spectacle—often dazzling, often complex—CoSign offers something different: a pause. A breath. A chance to step back. 

Created by Disorient, a collective that helped usher LED art onto the playa in the late 1990s thanks to co-founder and light artist [http://villareal.net Leo Villareal], CoSign is consciously and intentionally low-tech. 

Since our beginning in 2001, Disorient has been known for pushing light into new dimensions. But now that LEDs have gone mainstream—and the race for the brightest, biggest, and most intricately sequenced never seems to end—we decided it was time to dial it back. 

So we went back to basics. 

====Binary Beauty====

CoSign isn’t animated. It doesn’t flash or dazzle. It simply turns on. Or off. That’s it. 

In its refusal to perform, CoSign reveals the quiet elegance of binary logic—the same principle that underlies all LED art, and all digital life. It invites you to rediscover the poetry of simple presence and absence. 

Sometimes, the most illuminating act is to not chase spectacle. 

====Form, Function, and Freedom====

CoSign is designed with two clear goals in mind: 
1. To capture attention from a distance, and 
2. To invite meaningful interaction up close. 

To achieve this, the sign’s size and pixel proportions are consistent across the entire structure—ensuring legibility and impact. But how each pixel is built? That’s where things get interesting. 

In fact, we encourage variation. Construction isn’t just fabrication—it’s expression. Each builder brings their own style, quirks, and energy to their module. This diversity becomes visible and meaningful when experienced up close, turning the structure into a mosaic of creative fingerprints. 

====Built by Many, Made for All====

CoSign is more than a sign—it’s a collaborative canvas. 

Anyone helping bring it to life is welcome to leave their mark, so long as the overall coherence holds. Beyond construction, campers are invited to personalize individual pixels with small 2D or 3D [[Pornj]] objects that live inside the boxes—surrounding, but not blocking, the light. 

These contributions can be sculptures, paintings, collages, written memories—each one a tiny altar to a Disorient moment, story, or feeling. 

====CoSign is Disorient====

It doesn’t just spell our name—it reflects who we are. A collection of individuals creating something bright, bold, and beautifully communal.

===The Notch===
All 3/4” plywood items (B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K) need 3/4” triangular notches all cut on one side for electrical cables. Notches start at 1 foot from a short edge and are cut every 2 feet. Notches are usually cut with a jigsaw.

Due to weather conditions we were not able to assemble the "S" at D23. We used the plywood elements that we had prepared for CoSign as walking paths in camp to address the mud problem after several days of rain. DGFT volunteered to fabricate those elements again and connect them into modules for the "Ess" ready to be transported to the playa for D25 following our D23 plans and cut list.

==Lighting for the D - Spring 2022 by Vadim==
Here are 2 options for 54 individually addressable pixels depending on power situation. 

===Big generator===
If this is near the big generator it’s really easy to do it with completely rentable gear. 

DIMMER RENTAL 
You rent this guy - it’s a 48x 2.4 kilowatt dimmer rack: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/2008/etc-48-x-2k-sensor-rack-cem- 
Then you add one of these: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/47398/etc-sensor-12-x-2-4kw-dimmer-rack 
It’s a 12 rack - so now you’re at 60 dimmers total 

I gotta ask for a price quote. Renting big dimmers likely less expensive than buying small ones - unless you already have the small ones. 

CABLE TO BULB 
Then you use this type of cable to go to the bulbs: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/86/12-14-multi-cable-150- (750 USD) 
https://www.usedlighting.com/14467/edison-break-out-6- (140 USD) 

===Small generator===
If it’s gotta run off a 7k put-put genny it’s gonna to be done off dimmers that would likely have to be purchased. If you’re out in playa and you’re using a small generator with a photo cell and or timer you need the type of genny that can kick itself on under load 

DIMMER PURCHASE (2,000 USD) 
You have to buy 10 of these and use regular zip (lamp) cord and I would just get a spool and connectors and custom make it for length. 
https://goknight.com/Chauvet-dj-dmx-4/ 

DATA CABLE 
Oh you would also need a data cable to link the dimmers -So you would need 9’ of these - these we can buy new or used - also re-usable 
https://www.usedlighting.com/13526/5-pin-dmx-cable-25-5-Pin 

===Common to both options (~1100 USD total)===
16/2 CABLE (350 USD) 
[[Image:20230728ElectricCableFromHomeDepot.png|300px]] 

PORCELAIN SOCKET (150 USD)

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-15-Amp-125-Volt-3-Wire-Plug-Orange-R51-515PV-0OR/205165505 

SEQUENCE CONTROLLER (140 USD) 
Then we can use my console or whatever computer gadget you want to generate the DMX sequence for whatever length you want - I usually aim for 10 minutes and make it look nice 
And we can use one of these to essentially be the VCR that played the DMX show back over and over and over again on a loop: 
https://www.newlighting.com/32537/new-chauvet-dj-dmx-rt 
You have to provide a microSD card for it 

PHOTO CELL (40 USD) 
Finally, you out it in a timer or a photo cell so that it turns on at dusk. And turns off at daylight. Or your run it forever or if it’s in camp you just go turn it on:

==Description==
====CoSign: A Collaborative Sign by Disorient====

CoSign is a large-scale, three-dimensional rendering of the word Disorient, brought to life through clusters of wooden “pixels”—each one a handcrafted box painted Disorient orange and lit from within. 

Each pixel measures 23” wide × 23” tall × 11” deep and houses a single orange LED bulb. By night, they glow brightly. By day, they stand tall. The letters are designed to be supported by a simple metal framework—pallet racks, scaffolding, or whatever’s clever. 

====A Gentle Provocation in a Loud Landscape====

In an era when LED art has evolved into a full-blown spectacle—often dazzling, often complex—CoSign offers something different: a pause. A breath. A chance to step back. 

Created by Disorient, a collective that helped usher LED art onto the playa in the late 1990s thanks to co-founder and light artist [http://villareal.net Leo Villareal], CoSign is consciously and intentionally low-tech. 

Since our beginning in 2001, Disorient has been known for pushing light into new dimensions. But now that LEDs have gone mainstream—and the race for the brightest, biggest, and most intricately sequenced never seems to end—we decided it was time to dial it back. 

So we went back to basics. 

====Binary Beauty====

CoSign isn’t animated. It doesn’t flash or dazzle. It simply turns on. Or off. That’s it. 

In its refusal to perform, CoSign reveals the quiet elegance of binary logic—the same principle that underlies all LED art, and all digital life. It invites you to rediscover the poetry of simple presence and absence. 

Sometimes, the most illuminating act is to not chase spectacle. 

====Form, Function, and Freedom====

CoSign is designed with two clear goals in mind: 
1. To capture attention from a distance, and 
2. To invite meaningful interaction up close. 

To achieve this, the sign’s size and pixel proportions are consistent across the entire structure—ensuring legibility and impact. But how each pixel is built? That’s where things get interesting. 

In fact, we encourage variation. Construction isn’t just fabrication—it’s expression. Each builder brings their own style, quirks, and energy to their module. This diversity becomes visible and meaningful when experienced up close, turning the structure into a mosaic of creative fingerprints. 

====Built by Many, Made for All====

CoSign is more than a sign—it’s a collaborative canvas. 

Anyone helping bring it to life is welcome to leave their mark, so long as the overall coherence holds. Beyond construction, campers are invited to personalize individual pixels with small 2D or 3D [[Pornj]] objects that live inside the boxes—surrounding, but not blocking, the light. 

These contributions can be sculptures, paintings, collages, written memories—each one a tiny altar to a Disorient moment, story, or feeling. 

====CoSign is Disorient====

It doesn’t just spell our name—it reflects who we are. A collection of individuals creating something bright, bold, and beautifully communal.

===The Notch===
All 3/4” plywood items (B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K) need 3/4” triangular notches all cut on one side for electrical cables. Notches start at 1 foot from a short edge and are cut every 2 feet. Notches are usually cut with a jigsaw.

Due to weather conditions we were not able to assemble the "S" at D23. We used the plywood elements that we had prepared for CoSign as walking paths in camp to address the mud problem after several days of rain. DGFT volunteered to fabricate those elements again and connect them into modules for the "Ess" ready to be transported to the playa for D25 following our D23 plans and cut list.

====On-site installation notes====
In 2022 and 2023, we used long boards (2x4s and 2x6s) in the back of CoSign to help hold modules together better. This installation technique resulted in damaged modules during disengage. 

In 2024 we decided to try assembling each letter in place one module at a time instead of assembling the entire letter and raising it up against the pallet rack. This resulted in almost no damage to the modules. It was a little harder to install the higher modules but overall this seems to be a safer and less damaging way to install CoSign.

If it’s gotta run off a 7k put-put genny it’s gonna to be done off dimmers that would likely have to be purchased. If you’re out in playa and you’re using a small generator with a photo cell and or timer you need the type of genny that can kick itself on under load 

DIMMER PURCHASE (2,000 USD) 
You have to buy 10 of these and use regular zip (lamp) cord and I would just get a spool and connectors and custom make it for length.

Oh you would also need a data cable to link the dimmers -So you would need 9’ of these - these we can buy new or used - also re-usable

==Description==
====CoSign: A Collaborative Sign by Disorient====

CoSign is a large-scale, three-dimensional rendering of the word Disorient, brought to life through clusters of wooden “pixels”—each one a handcrafted box painted Disorient orange and lit from within. 

Each pixel measures 23” wide × 23” tall × 11” deep and houses a single orange LED bulb. By night, they glow brightly. By day, they stand tall. The letters are designed to be supported by a simple metal framework—pallet racks, scaffolding, or whatever’s clever. 

====A Gentle Provocation in a Loud Landscape====

In an era when LED art has evolved into a full-blown spectacle—often dazzling, often complex—CoSign offers something different: a pause. A breath. A chance to step back. 

Created by Disorient, a collective that helped usher LED art onto the playa in the late 1990s thanks to co-founder and light artist [http://villareal.net Leo Villareal], CoSign is consciously and intentionally low-tech. 

Since our beginning in 2001, Disorient has been known for pushing light into new dimensions. But now that LEDs have gone mainstream—and the race for the brightest, biggest, and most intricately sequenced never seems to end—we decided it was time to dial it back. 

So we went back to basics. 

====Binary Beauty====

CoSign isn’t animated. It doesn’t flash or dazzle. It simply turns on. Or off. That’s it. 

In its refusal to perform, CoSign reveals the quiet elegance of binary logic—the same principle that underlies all LED art, and all digital life. It invites you to rediscover the poetry of simple presence and absence. 

Sometimes, the most illuminating act is to not chase spectacle. 

====Form, Function, and Freedom====

CoSign is designed with two clear goals in mind: 
1. To capture attention from a distance, and 
2. To invite meaningful interaction up close. 

To achieve this, the sign’s size and pixel proportions are consistent across the entire structure—ensuring legibility and impact. But how each pixel is built? That’s where things get interesting. 

In fact, we encourage variation. Construction isn’t just fabrication—it’s expression. Each builder brings their own style, quirks, and energy to their module. This diversity becomes visible and meaningful when experienced up close, turning the structure into a mosaic of creative fingerprints. 

====Built by Many, Made for All====

CoSign is more than a sign—it’s a collaborative canvas. 

Anyone helping bring it to life is welcome to leave their mark, so long as the overall coherence holds. Beyond construction, campers are invited to personalize individual pixels with small 2D or 3D [[Pornj]] objects that live inside the boxes—surrounding, but not blocking, the light. 

These contributions can be sculptures, paintings, collages, written memories—each one a tiny altar to a Disorient moment, story, or feeling. 

====CoSign is Disorient====

It doesn’t just spell our name—it reflects who we are. A collection of individuals creating something bright, bold, and beautifully communal.

===The Notch===
All 3/4” plywood items (B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K) need 3/4” triangular notches all cut on one side for electrical cables. Notches start at 1 foot from a short edge and are cut every 2 feet. Notches are usually cut with a jigsaw.

Due to weather conditions we were not able to assemble the "S" at D23. We used the plywood elements that we had prepared for CoSign as walking paths in camp to address the mud problem after several days of rain. DGFT volunteered to fabricate those elements again and connect them into modules for the "Ess" ready to be transported to the playa for D25 following our D23 plans and cut list.

====On-site installation notes====
In 2022 and 2023, we used long boards (2x4s and 2x6s) in the back of CoSign to help hold modules together better. This installation technique resulted in damaged modules during disengage. 

In 2024 we decided to try assembling each letter in place one module at a time instead of assembling the entire letter and raising it up against the pallet rack. This resulted in almost no damage to the modules. It was a little harder to install the higher modules but overall this seems to be a safer and less damaging way to install CoSign.

==Lighting for the D - Spring 2022 by Vadim==
Here are 2 options for 54 individually addressable pixels depending on power situation. 

===Big generator===
If this is near the big generator it’s really easy to do it with completely rentable gear. 

DIMMER RENTAL 
You rent this guy - it’s a 48x 2.4 kilowatt dimmer rack: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/2008/etc-48-x-2k-sensor-rack-cem- 
Then you add one of these: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/47398/etc-sensor-12-x-2-4kw-dimmer-rack 
It’s a 12 rack - so now you’re at 60 dimmers total 

I gotta ask for a price quote. Renting big dimmers likely less expensive than buying small ones - unless you already have the small ones. 

CABLE TO BULB 
Then you use this type of cable to go to the bulbs: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/86/12-14-multi-cable-150- (750 USD) 
https://www.usedlighting.com/14467/edison-break-out-6- (140 USD) 

===Small generator===
If it’s gotta run off a 7k put-put genny it’s gonna to be done off dimmers that would likely have to be purchased. If you’re out in playa and you’re using a small generator with a photo cell and or timer you need the type of genny that can kick itself on under load 

DIMMER PURCHASE (2,000 USD) 
You have to buy 10 of these and use regular zip (lamp) cord and I would just get a spool and connectors and custom make it for length. 
https://goknight.com/Chauvet-dj-dmx-4/ 

DATA CABLE 
Oh you would also need a data cable to link the dimmers -So you would need 9’ of these - these we can buy new or used - also re-usable

====Form, Function, and Freedom====

CoSign is designed with two clear goals in mind: 
1. To capture attention from a distance, and 
2. To invite meaningful interaction up close. 

To achieve this, the sign’s size and pixel proportions are consistent across the entire structure—ensuring legibility and impact. But how each pixel is built? That’s where things get interesting. 

In fact, we encourage variation. Construction isn’t just fabrication—it’s expression. Each builder brings their own style, quirks, and energy to their module. This diversity becomes visible and meaningful when experienced up close, turning the structure into a mosaic of creative fingerprints. 

====Built by Many, Made for All====

CoSign is more than a sign—it’s a collaborative canvas. 

Anyone helping bring it to life is welcome to leave their mark, so long as the overall coherence holds. Beyond construction, campers are invited to personalize individual pixels with small 2D or 3D [[Pornj]] objects that live inside the boxes—surrounding, but not blocking, the light. 

These contributions can be sculptures, paintings, collages, written memories—each one a tiny altar to a Disorient moment, story, or feeling. 

====CoSign is Disorient====

It doesn’t just spell our name—it reflects who we are. A collection of individuals creating something bright, bold, and beautifully communal.

===The Notch===
All 3/4” plywood items (B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K) need 3/4” triangular notches all cut on one side for electrical cables. Notches start at 1 foot from a short edge and are cut every 2 feet. Notches are usually cut with a jigsaw.

Due to weather conditions we were not able to assemble the "S" at D23. We used the plywood elements that we had prepared for CoSign as walking paths in camp to address the mud problem after several days of rain. DGFT volunteered to fabricate those elements again and connect them into modules for the "Ess" ready to be transported to the playa for D25 following our D23 plans and cut list.

====On-site installation notes====
In 2022 and 2023, we used long boards (2x4s and 2x6s) in the back of CoSign to help hold modules together better. This installation technique resulted in damaged modules during disengage. 

In 2024 we decided to try assembling each letter in place one module at a time instead of assembling the entire letter and raising it up against the pallet rack. This resulted in almost no damage to the modules. It was a little harder to install the higher modules but overall this seems to be a safer and less damaging way to install CoSign.

==Lighting for the D - Spring 2022 by Vadim==
Here are 2 options for 54 individually addressable pixels depending on power situation. 

===Big generator===
If this is near the big generator it’s really easy to do it with completely rentable gear. 

DIMMER RENTAL 
You rent this guy - it’s a 48x 2.4 kilowatt dimmer rack: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/2008/etc-48-x-2k-sensor-rack-cem- 
Then you add one of these: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/47398/etc-sensor-12-x-2-4kw-dimmer-rack 
It’s a 12 rack - so now you’re at 60 dimmers total 

I gotta ask for a price quote. Renting big dimmers likely less expensive than buying small ones - unless you already have the small ones. 

CABLE TO BULB 
Then you use this type of cable to go to the bulbs: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/86/12-14-multi-cable-150- (750 USD) 
https://www.usedlighting.com/14467/edison-break-out-6- (140 USD) 

===Small generator===
If it’s gotta run off a 7k put-put genny it’s gonna to be done off dimmers that would likely have to be purchased. If you’re out in playa and you’re using a small generator with a photo cell and or timer you need the type of genny that can kick itself on under load 

DIMMER PURCHASE (2,000 USD) 
You have to buy 10 of these and use regular zip (lamp) cord and I would just get a spool and connectors and custom make it for length. 
https://goknight.com/Chauvet-dj-dmx-4/ 

DATA CABLE 
Oh you would also need a data cable to link the dimmers -So you would need 9’ of these - these we can buy new or used - also re-usable 
https://www.usedlighting.com/13526/5-pin-dmx-cable-25-5-Pin 

===Common to both options (~1100 USD total)===
16/2 CABLE (350 USD) 
[[Image:20230728ElectricCableFromHomeDepot.png|300px]] 

PORCELAIN SOCKET (150 USD)

BULB (220 USD) 
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Sunlite-60-Watt-Equivalent-A19-Dimmable-Filament-E26-Medium-Base-LED-Orange-Light-Bulbs-6-Pack-HD02270-3/312593793

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-15-Amp-125-Volt-3-Wire-Plug-Orange-R51-515PV-0OR/205165505 

SEQUENCE CONTROLLER (140 USD) 
Then we can use my console or whatever computer gadget you want to generate the DMX sequence for whatever length you want - I usually aim for 10 minutes and make it look nice 
And we can use one of these to essentially be the VCR that played the DMX show back over and over and over again on a loop: 
https://www.newlighting.com/32537/new-chauvet-dj-dmx-rt 
You have to provide a microSD card for it 

PHOTO CELL (40 USD) 
Finally, you out it in a timer or a photo cell so that it turns on at dusk. And turns off at daylight. Or your run it forever or if it’s in camp you just go turn it on: 
https://www.aqlightinggroup.com/outdoor-lighting/landscape-accessories/timers-controllers/commercial-grade-photocell/

==Description==
====CoSign: A Collaborative Sign by Disorient====

CoSign is a large-scale, three-dimensional rendering of the word Disorient, brought to life through clusters of wooden “pixels”—each one a handcrafted box painted Disorient orange and lit from within. 

Each pixel measures 23” wide × 23” tall × 11” deep and houses a single orange LED bulb. By night, they glow brightly. By day, they stand tall. The letters are designed to be supported by a simple metal framework—pallet racks, scaffolding, or whatever’s clever. 

====A Gentle Provocation in a Loud Landscape====

In an era when LED art has evolved into a full-blown spectacle—often dazzling, often complex—CoSign offers something different: a pause. A breath. A chance to step back. 

Created by Disorient, a collective that helped usher LED art onto the playa in the late 1990s thanks to co-founder and light artist [http://villareal.net Leo Villareal], CoSign is consciously and intentionally low-tech. 

Since our beginning in 2001, Disorient has been known for pushing light into new dimensions. But now that LEDs have gone mainstream—and the race for the brightest, biggest, and most intricately sequenced never seems to end—we decided it was time to dial it back. 

So we went back to basics. 

====Binary Beauty====

CoSign isn’t animated. It doesn’t flash or dazzle. It simply turns on. Or off. That’s it. 

In its refusal to perform, CoSign reveals the quiet elegance of binary logic—the same principle that underlies all LED art, and all digital life. It invites you to rediscover the poetry of simple presence and absence. 

Sometimes, the most illuminating act is to not chase spectacle. 

====Form, Function, and Freedom====

CoSign is designed with two clear goals in mind: 
1. To capture attention from a distance, and 
2. To invite meaningful interaction up close. 

To achieve this, the sign’s size and pixel proportions are consistent across the entire structure—ensuring legibility and impact. But how each pixel is built? That’s where things get interesting. 

In fact, we encourage variation. Construction isn’t just fabrication—it’s expression. Each builder brings their own style, quirks, and energy to their module. This diversity becomes visible and meaningful when experienced up close, turning the structure into a mosaic of creative fingerprints. 

====Built by Many, Made for All====

CoSign is more than a sign—it’s a collaborative canvas. 

Anyone helping bring it to life is welcome to leave their mark, so long as the overall coherence holds. Beyond construction, campers are invited to personalize individual pixels with small 2D or 3D [[Pornj]] objects that live inside the boxes—surrounding, but not blocking, the light. 

These contributions can be sculptures, paintings, collages, written memories—each one a tiny altar to a Disorient moment, story, or feeling. 

====CoSign is Disorient====

It doesn’t just spell our name—it reflects who we are. A collection of individuals creating something bright, bold, and beautifully communal.

====On-site installation notes====
In 2022 and 2023, we used long boards (2x4s and 2x6s) in the back of CoSign to help hold modules together better. This installation technique resulted in damaged modules during disengage. 

In 2024 we decided to try assembling each letter in place one module at a time instead of assembling the entire letter and raising it up against the pallet rack. This resulted in almost no damage to the modules. It was a little harder to install the higher modules but overall this seems to be a safer and less damaging way to install CoSign.

==Lighting for the D - Spring 2022 by Vadim==
Here are 2 options for 54 individually addressable pixels depending on power situation. 

===Big generator===
If this is near the big generator it’s really easy to do it with completely rentable gear. 

DIMMER RENTAL 
You rent this guy - it’s a 48x 2.4 kilowatt dimmer rack: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/2008/etc-48-x-2k-sensor-rack-cem- 
Then you add one of these: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/47398/etc-sensor-12-x-2-4kw-dimmer-rack 
It’s a 12 rack - so now you’re at 60 dimmers total 

I gotta ask for a price quote. Renting big dimmers likely less expensive than buying small ones - unless you already have the small ones. 

CABLE TO BULB 
Then you use this type of cable to go to the bulbs: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/86/12-14-multi-cable-150- (750 USD) 
https://www.usedlighting.com/14467/edison-break-out-6- (140 USD) 

===Small generator===
If it’s gotta run off a 7k put-put genny it’s gonna to be done off dimmers that would likely have to be purchased. If you’re out in playa and you’re using a small generator with a photo cell and or timer you need the type of genny that can kick itself on under load 

DIMMER PURCHASE (2,000 USD) 
You have to buy 10 of these and use regular zip (lamp) cord and I would just get a spool and connectors and custom make it for length. 
https://goknight.com/Chauvet-dj-dmx-4/ 

DATA CABLE 
Oh you would also need a data cable to link the dimmers -So you would need 9’ of these - these we can buy new or used - also re-usable 
https://www.usedlighting.com/13526/5-pin-dmx-cable-25-5-Pin 

===Common to both options (~1100 USD total)===
16/2 CABLE (350 USD) 
[[Image:20230728ElectricCableFromHomeDepot.png|300px]] 

PORCELAIN SOCKET (150 USD) 
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-600-Watt-250-Volt-White-Outlet-Box-Lampholder-R50-49875-000/207106566 
[[Image:20230728PorcelainSocketFromHomeDepot.png|300px]] 

BULB (220 USD) 
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Sunlite-60-Watt-Equivalent-A19-Dimmable-Filament-E26-Medium-Base-LED-Orange-Light-Bulbs-6-Pack-HD02270-3/312593793

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-15-Amp-125-Volt-3-Wire-Plug-Orange-R51-515PV-0OR/205165505 

SEQUENCE CONTROLLER (140 USD) 
Then we can use my console or whatever computer gadget you want to generate the DMX sequence for whatever length you want - I usually aim for 10 minutes and make it look nice 
And we can use one of these to essentially be the VCR that played the DMX show back over and over and over again on a loop: 
https://www.newlighting.com/32537/new-chauvet-dj-dmx-rt 
You have to provide a microSD card for it 

PHOTO CELL (40 USD) 
Finally, you out it in a timer or a photo cell so that it turns on at dusk. And turns off at daylight. Or your run it forever or if it’s in camp you just go turn it on: 
https://www.aqlightinggroup.com/outdoor-lighting/landscape-accessories/timers-controllers/commercial-grade-photocell/

==Description==
====CoSign: A Collaborative Sign by Disorient====

CoSign is a large-scale, three-dimensional rendering of the word Disorient, brought to life through clusters of wooden “pixels”—each one a handcrafted box painted Disorient orange and lit from within. 

Each pixel measures 23” wide × 23” tall × 11” deep and houses a single orange LED bulb. By night, they glow brightly. By day, they stand tall. The letters are designed to be supported by a simple metal framework—pallet racks, scaffolding, or whatever’s clever. 

====A Gentle Provocation in a Loud Landscape====

In an era when LED art has evolved into a full-blown spectacle—often dazzling, often complex—CoSign offers something different: a pause. A breath. A chance to step back. 

Created by Disorient, a collective that helped usher LED art onto the playa in the late 1990s thanks to co-founder and light artist [http://villareal.net Leo Villareal], CoSign is consciously and intentionally low-tech. 

Since our beginning in 2001, Disorient has been known for pushing light into new dimensions. But now that LEDs have gone mainstream—and the race for the brightest, biggest, and most intricately sequenced never seems to end—we decided it was time to dial it back. 

So we went back to basics. 

====Binary Beauty====

CoSign isn’t animated. It doesn’t flash or dazzle. It simply turns on. Or off. That’s it. 

In its refusal to perform, CoSign reveals the quiet elegance of binary logic—the same principle that underlies all LED art, and all digital life. It invites you to rediscover the poetry of simple presence and absence. 

Sometimes, the most illuminating act is to not chase spectacle. 

====Form, Function, and Freedom====

CoSign is designed with two clear goals in mind: 
1. To capture attention from a distance, and 
2. To invite meaningful interaction up close. 

To achieve this, the sign’s size and pixel proportions are consistent across the entire structure—ensuring legibility and impact. But how each pixel is built? That’s where things get interesting. 

In fact, we encourage variation. Construction isn’t just fabrication—it’s expression. Each builder brings their own style, quirks, and energy to their module. This diversity becomes visible and meaningful when experienced up close, turning the structure into a mosaic of creative fingerprints. 

====Built by Many, Made for All====

CoSign is more than a sign—it’s a collaborative canvas. 

Anyone helping bring it to life is welcome to leave their mark, so long as the overall coherence holds. Beyond construction, campers are invited to personalize individual pixels with small 2D or 3D [[Pornj]] objects that live inside the boxes—surrounding, but not blocking, the light. 

These contributions can be sculptures, paintings, collages, written memories—each one a tiny altar to a Disorient moment, story, or feeling. 

====CoSign is Disorient====

It doesn’t just spell our name—it reflects who we are. A collection of individuals creating something bright, bold, and beautifully communal.

===The Notch===
All 3/4” plywood items (B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K) need 3/4” triangular notches all cut on one side for electrical cables. Notches start at 1 foot from a short edge and are cut every 2 feet. Notches are usually cut with a jigsaw.

Due to weather conditions we were not able to assemble the "S" at D23. We used the plywood elements that we had prepared for CoSign as walking paths in camp to address the mud problem after several days of rain. DGFT volunteered to fabricate those elements again and connect them into modules for the "Ess" ready to be transported to the playa for D25 following our D23 plans and cut list.

==Lighting for the D - Spring 2022 by Vadim==
Here are 2 options for 54 individually addressable pixels depending on power situation. 

===Big generator===
If this is near the big generator it’s really easy to do it with completely rentable gear. 

DIMMER RENTAL 
You rent this guy - it’s a 48x 2.4 kilowatt dimmer rack: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/2008/etc-48-x-2k-sensor-rack-cem- 
Then you add one of these: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/47398/etc-sensor-12-x-2-4kw-dimmer-rack 
It’s a 12 rack - so now you’re at 60 dimmers total 

I gotta ask for a price quote. Renting big dimmers likely less expensive than buying small ones - unless you already have the small ones. 

CABLE TO BULB 
Then you use this type of cable to go to the bulbs: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/86/12-14-multi-cable-150- (750 USD) 
https://www.usedlighting.com/14467/edison-break-out-6- (140 USD) 

===Small generator===
If it’s gotta run off a 7k put-put genny it’s gonna to be done off dimmers that would likely have to be purchased. If you’re out in playa and you’re using a small generator with a photo cell and or timer you need the type of genny that can kick itself on under load 

DIMMER PURCHASE (2,000 USD) 
You have to buy 10 of these and use regular zip (lamp) cord and I would just get a spool and connectors and custom make it for length. 
https://goknight.com/Chauvet-dj-dmx-4/ 

DATA CABLE 
Oh you would also need a data cable to link the dimmers -So you would need 9’ of these - these we can buy new or used - also re-usable 
https://www.usedlighting.com/13526/5-pin-dmx-cable-25-5-Pin 

===Common to both options (~1100 USD total)===
16/2 CABLE (350 USD) 
[[Image:20230728ElectricCableFromHomeDepot.png|300px]] 

PORCELAIN SOCKET (150 USD)

[[Image:20230728PorcelainSocketFromHomeDepot.png|300px]] 

BULB (220 USD) 
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Sunlite-60-Watt-Equivalent-A19-Dimmable-Filament-E26-Medium-Base-LED-Orange-Light-Bulbs-6-Pack-HD02270-3/312593793

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-15-Amp-125-Volt-3-Wire-Plug-Orange-R51-515PV-0OR/205165505 

SEQUENCE CONTROLLER (140 USD) 
Then we can use my console or whatever computer gadget you want to generate the DMX sequence for whatever length you want - I usually aim for 10 minutes and make it look nice 
And we can use one of these to essentially be the VCR that played the DMX show back over and over and over again on a loop: 
https://www.newlighting.com/32537/new-chauvet-dj-dmx-rt 
You have to provide a microSD card for it 

PHOTO CELL (40 USD) 
Finally, you out it in a timer or a photo cell so that it turns on at dusk. And turns off at daylight. Or your run it forever or if it’s in camp you just go turn it on:

==Description==
====CoSign: A Collaborative Sign by Disorient====

CoSign is a large-scale, three-dimensional rendering of the word Disorient, brought to life through clusters of wooden “pixels”—each one a handcrafted box painted Disorient orange and lit from within. 

Each pixel measures 23” wide × 23” tall × 11” deep and houses a single orange LED bulb. By night, they glow brightly. By day, they stand tall. The letters are designed to be supported by a simple metal framework—pallet racks, scaffolding, or whatever’s clever. 

====A Gentle Provocation in a Loud Landscape====

In an era when LED art has evolved into a full-blown spectacle—often dazzling, often complex—CoSign offers something different: a pause. A breath. A chance to step back. 

Created by Disorient, a collective that helped usher LED art onto the playa in the late 1990s thanks to co-founder and light artist [http://villareal.net Leo Villareal], CoSign is consciously and intentionally low-tech. 

Since our beginning in 2001, Disorient has been known for pushing light into new dimensions. But now that LEDs have gone mainstream—and the race for the brightest, biggest, and most intricately sequenced never seems to end—we decided it was time to dial it back. 

So we went back to basics. 

====Binary Beauty====

CoSign isn’t animated. It doesn’t flash or dazzle. It simply turns on. Or off. That’s it. 

In its refusal to perform, CoSign reveals the quiet elegance of binary logic—the same principle that underlies all LED art, and all digital life. It invites you to rediscover the poetry of simple presence and absence. 

Sometimes, the most illuminating act is to not chase spectacle. 

====Form, Function, and Freedom====

CoSign is designed with two clear goals in mind: 
1. To capture attention from a distance, and 
2. To invite meaningful interaction up close. 

To achieve this, the sign’s size and pixel proportions are consistent across the entire structure—ensuring legibility and impact. But how each pixel is built? That’s where things get interesting. 

In fact, we encourage variation. Construction isn’t just fabrication—it’s expression. Each builder brings their own style, quirks, and energy to their module. This diversity becomes visible and meaningful when experienced up close, turning the structure into a mosaic of creative fingerprints. 

====Built by Many, Made for All====

CoSign is more than a sign—it’s a collaborative canvas. 

Anyone helping bring it to life is welcome to leave their mark, so long as the overall coherence holds. Beyond construction, campers are invited to personalize individual pixels with small 2D or 3D [[Pornj]] objects that live inside the boxes—surrounding, but not blocking, the light. 

These contributions can be sculptures, paintings, collages, written memories—each one a tiny altar to a Disorient moment, story, or feeling. 

====CoSign is Disorient====

It doesn’t just spell our name—it reflects who we are. A collection of individuals creating something bright, bold, and beautifully communal. 



===Elements and Modules===

===The Notch===
All 3/4” plywood items (B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K) need 3/4” triangular notches all cut on one side for electrical cables. Notches start at 1 foot from a short edge and are cut every 2 feet. Notches are usually cut with a jigsaw.

Due to weather conditions we were not able to assemble the "S" at D23. We used the plywood elements that we had prepared for CoSign as walking paths in camp to address the mud problem after several days of rain. DGFT volunteered to fabricate those elements again and connect them into modules for the "Ess" ready to be transported to the playa for D25 following our D23 plans and cut list.

====On-site installation notes====
In 2022 and 2023, we used long boards (2x4s and 2x6s) in the back of CoSign to help hold modules together better. This installation technique resulted in damaged modules during disengage. 

In 2024 we decided to try assembling each letter in place one module at a time instead of assembling the entire letter and raising it up against the pallet rack. This resulted in almost no damage to the modules. It was a little harder to install the higher modules but overall this seems to be a safer and less damaging way to install CoSign.

==Lighting for the D - Spring 2022 by Vadim==
Here are 2 options for 54 individually addressable pixels depending on power situation. 

===Big generator===
If this is near the big generator it’s really easy to do it with completely rentable gear. 

DIMMER RENTAL 
You rent this guy - it’s a 48x 2.4 kilowatt dimmer rack: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/2008/etc-48-x-2k-sensor-rack-cem- 
Then you add one of these: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/47398/etc-sensor-12-x-2-4kw-dimmer-rack 
It’s a 12 rack - so now you’re at 60 dimmers total 

I gotta ask for a price quote. Renting big dimmers likely less expensive than buying small ones - unless you already have the small ones. 

CABLE TO BULB 
Then you use this type of cable to go to the bulbs: 
https://www.usedlighting.com/86/12-14-multi-cable-150- (750 USD) 
https://www.usedlighting.com/14467/edison-break-out-6- (140 USD) 

===Small generator===
If it’s gotta run off a 7k put-put genny it’s gonna to be done off dimmers that would likely have to be purchased. If you’re out in playa and you’re using a small generator with a photo cell and or timer you need the type of genny that can kick itself on under load 

DIMMER PURCHASE (2,000 USD) 
You have to buy 10 of these and use regular zip (lamp) cord and I would just get a spool and connectors and custom make it for length. 
https://goknight.com/Chauvet-dj-dmx-4/ 

DATA CABLE 
Oh you would also need a data cable to link the dimmers -So you would need 9’ of these - these we can buy new or used - also re-usable 
https://www.usedlighting.com/13526/5-pin-dmx-cable-25-5-Pin 

===Common to both options (~1100 USD total)===
16/2 CABLE (350 USD) 
[[Image:20230728ElectricCableFromHomeDepot.png|300px]] 

PORCELAIN SOCKET (150 USD) 
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-600-Watt-250-Volt-White-Outlet-Box-Lampholder-R50-49875-000/207106566 
[[Image:20230728PorcelainSocketFromHomeDepot.png|300px]] 

BULB (220 USD) 
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Sunlite-60-Watt-Equivalent-A19-Dimmable-Filament-E26-Medium-Base-LED-Orange-Light-Bulbs-6-Pack-HD02270-3/312593793 

CONNECTOR (175 USD) 
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-15-Amp-125-Volt-3-Wire-Plug-Orange-R51-515PV-0OR/205165505 

SEQUENCE CONTROLLER (140 USD) 
Then we can use my console or whatever computer gadget you want to generate the DMX sequence for whatever length you want - I usually aim for 10 minutes and make it look nice 
And we can use one of these to essentially be the VCR that played the DMX show back over and over and over again on a loop: 
https://www.newlighting.com/32537/new-chauvet-dj-dmx-rt 
You have to provide a microSD card for it 

PHOTO CELL (40 USD) 
Finally, you out it in a timer or a photo cell so that it turns on at dusk. And turns off at daylight. Or your run it forever or if it’s in camp you just go turn it on: 
https://www.aqlightinggroup.com/outdoor-lighting/landscape-accessories/timers-controllers/commercial-grade-photocell/

In 2018 Disorient explored 3:30 & Gort. Camp was 250 ft. wide by 500 ft. long. 

Pod Mahal, Disorient India's vision of a playa "condo" designed as an alternative to RVs was at the heart of camp,. Chand Baori made of 4 inward-facing series of oversized steps extended towards the front and included the Square in which latest flavors of Disorient music, sound art and interactive light installations were served. Sparkling water was available at the H2O Bar. On the other side, the U-shaped Square Shades protected tenters, Amber's Kitchen and our beautiful central lounge from the elements. 

The Disorient Video Sign (a new creation by Disorient San Francisco) in which each letter is a video screen, a 1.4 million pixels installation, was a remake of the 2005 version of the original Disorient Sign, complete with the ENT part of the Sign on a new art car based on an old fire truck. 

Our new DISCO Lounge spearheaded by Disorient LA provided shaded space for interactive activities such as GlamTech jewelry-making, Pornj garment exchange and ice-cold Minty Towels. A-Train's Duke's and the A-Trium which held JBB's traditional Tuesday night BBQ provided an anchor on the other side of camp. 

Far from camp, in the deep playa, the Temple of Incompletion by Geodesic Temple was burned on Friday night.

In 2009, after a year deep in the city, Disorient returns to the Esplanade. Our [[Art Car Wash|Art Car Wash]] will buff your bumpers with a grooving daytime disco. Come play, learn and grow with us. 

The [[Art Car Wash]] is an interactive zone for art cars, art car drivers, and anyone who wants to buff their bumpers. All art cars on the playa will be invited to drive through the "wash" where other playa participants will be waiting to greet them, mock "wash" their cars, and groove to the sound of daytime disco. The Art Car Wash will consist of two rows of platforms, creating a lane which art car drivers can pass through, and filled with spinning fuzzy playa versions of the washers and wipers found in a typical car wash. Of course they won't actually be washing the cars, but participants are welcome to bring spray bottles to mist the passengers. Ater passing through the wash, drivers will be able to park and join the fun as the music plays throughout the day. Disorient will get the wash started every day, but all other playa participants are invited to play a role with towels, misters, or just themselves. 

===Urban Plan: [[Urban_plan#.22Evolver.22_.282009.29|Evolver]]===

===Disorient Outpost Cell===
(Cell leader: The Eye)

The role of the Disorient Outpost is to organize key elements of camp infrastructure following the urban plan so other camp projects can be deployed in a timely fashion. 

Disorient Outpost cell members include: 
The Eye, A-train, Elijah, Christine, Ky, Clare, Tori (plus 5 more to be assigned by the Disorient Registration cell). 

Tasks of members of Disorient Outpost: 
- direct and produce camp construction (7 days, 1 person) 
- create Disorient Outpost camp (1 day, 7 persons) 
- draw [[Urban_plan#.22Evolver.22_.282009.29|Urban Plan]] at scale 1 (1 day, 4 persons) 
- install flag poles (1 day , 2 persons): 30 flag poles are used as guides by the vehicle placement team and as anchor points for shade structures throughout the camp. 
- Disorient [[container|containers]] placement and unload (3 days, 2 persons): create shop and organize materials outside containers (from 2 Disorient Containers + NYC Container + PEX Container) so infrastructure, art installations and mutant vehicles can be fabricated and/or assembled. 
- shopmaster (10 days, 1 person): administer the shop, keep tools and materials organized, do reno-runs for special needs and shop-related trash. 
- vehicle placement (8 days, 2 persons): all vehicles in camp need to carefully be placed according to the urban plan in order to allow the camp to function. 
- shade structure team (3 days, 4 persons): install and guide the installation of communal shade structure throughout the camp. Shade structures include [[Delta_Shade|delta shades]], [[Low_Shade|low shades]] and [[Dome|geodesic domes]]. 

===[[Art Car Wash]] Cell===
(Cell leader: Tejawe)

The [[Art Car Wash]] is an interactive zone for art cars, art car drivers, and anyone who wants to buff their bumpers. [[Art Car Wash|more]]. 

You will help build, maintain and take down Disorient’s biggest art project at Burning Man this year. Crew will be called on to keep all the parts of the wash moving smoothly and cleanly. There will be dancing and faux-cleaning, but there will also be a lot of work keeping this up and running during the hottest part of the playa day. Crew participants will need to be available DURING THE DAY to ensure the Art Car Wash runs smoothly.

We can't be a theme camp without having a camp! The camp cell will be involved in all aspects of camp organization and maintenance. Disngage will handle breakdown, but the better we start and maintain, the better we'll finish.

From camp & RV placement to generators, dome building and deco, if it is involved in the day-to-day and building of Disorient, it's your bailiwick.

Cell members will be the glue that keeps the camp running as we move from arrival through to the Burn and then Monday's Disngage. Join the Camp Cell and ensure Disorient rocks it. 

===[[Dex|DEX]] Cell===
Cell leader TBD 
''DEX Transportation: Dimitri/Archer'' 
''[[Dex#2009|DEX Transformation]]: Simas & co.'' 
''DEX Registration: Archer'' 
''[[Sound]] Czar: Clare Large'' 
''[[Playa_Schedule#Burning_Man_2009|DJ Booking]]: Sultan'' 
''[[Dot|DOT]] (DEX Operation Team): Ted, ?'' 

The DEX is our mobile sexy house party art car. During the day, it will provide the sound for the Art Car Wash. At night, it will prowl the playa.

If you're in the DEX cell, you'll be making sure everything is running smoothly before, during and after each playa run.

Duties include cleaning, set up, perimeter control, helping the dj and sound crew, and making sure signage and art is intact and badass. You'll be at the DEX parties, but need to be able and willing (i.e. functional) as needed to assist the DEX. 

===[[Kitchen]] Cell===
Cell leader: Shaggy 

''Meal Plan Coordinator: Cherry 
''Kitchen Construction: Shaggy'' 
''Evap Pool: Thunderstick'' 
''Water Tank?: Aura'' 
''Trash Czar: ?'' 
''Recycling Czar: Molly Hude'' ''

While everyone in Disorient is expected to contribute to at least one campwide meal, the Kitchen Cell will ensure the kitchen is constructed and help make sure each meal runs as smooth as can be.

Kitchen Construction is exactly what it sounds like. Team members need to arrive early to build the kitchen. If the kitchen needs to expand, shrink or be redone in any way during the week, this will be your responsibility, too.

The Meal Plan team will help make sure that each meal is cooked, served and cleaned up daily. This will include maintaining the kitchen, water, trash, recycling, and serving needs. (Please note that the required participation in preparing one camp meal does not constitute or replace cell participation.)

Our trash plan is that each meal team/day will have a person (or 2) designated to trash. Each team must empty and remove all trash from the kitchen after their meal.

Each team is then responsible for packing their own trash out at the end of the week and taking all burnables to the burn barrels. The trash czar of the kitchen cell will oversee and enforce that this happens.

The recycling czar will oversee taking our cans over to camp recycle and/or our plastics to the recycle collections in Reno.

What better way to participate than make sure each Disorienter eats well because of you? 

===Disngage Cell===
(2-3 days of commitment) 
(No project leader yet - though OCEAN is the mistress of MOOP)

You are the goto team for making sure that disorient gets broken down, recycling & trash gets taken away, loaded up, cleaned up, deMooped, in the container and off the playa.

You are the DOers of all DOers. Everyone is responsible for helping get our camp packed away and cleaned up, but you'll be relied upon to really make sure it all happens.

This is one of the most important part of Disorient, and is crucial to our participation in Burning Man!

As a reward, if you stick around until the official end of Burning Man -- midnight at the end of Monday, Sept. 7 (Labor Day) -- the hot springs open up again!

==2008 (Di8orient)==

In 2008, Disorient seeks to pull people in before blowing them away. After focusing on making the playa at-large happy for many years, Disorient is going to Deviate, turn the music down (slightly) and edge away from the public eye. Expect the Disorient perspective to turn slightly more inward and intimate.

Our beloved Dome returns after several years! In the shade of the Dome, we’ll enjoy delicious meals, ambient sets, puddles (in zero-G and without), yoga, fog system, live music, generous light art, plush environments and yes, some electronic dance music on select occasions. It's our new more private, soothing den of iniquity.

The Dex will transform, too, becoming a radiant mobile lounge that provides awe-inspiring light sculpture to other events on the playa. It will serve as a traveling puddle, a mobile Disorient lair and a way station for our fellow Burners. Soothed and relaxed by the Dex, they can then continue on their journey on their own path or as one of us.

This year, our internal journey will be just as epic as the external. And vice versa. Welcome to Disorient 2008!

Camp Cell

2026-04-18T04:01:50Z

The eye: /* Join */

The Camp Cell runs Disorient [[Camp|camp]] at Burning Man. 

First implemented in 2022, the Camp Cell replaces the role of Camp Lead of years past. This means that Camp Lead responsibilities are now distributed amongst the active Disorient members in the Camp Cell. This choice emphasizes the collaborative and distributed aspects of Disorient.

==Organization==
1. Camp Cell activity starts at the beginning of each Gregorian calendar year and crescendoes until the Burn. 
2. Prerequisites to become a Camp Cell Member: 
- Successfully led a Cell at Disorient on the playa; 
- Camped with Disorient on the playa for at least 3 years; 
3. Members are invited and/or confirmed by the Directors. 
4. Camp Cell is dissolved after each Burning Man. A new Camp Cell is created each year. 

===How to join===
Following our distributed mantra, Camp Cell tasks can usually be broken down into smaller units. There are no preset limits on the number of Camp Cell Members. If you are genuinely interested to serve at the Camp Cell level, please let us know. We will strive to identify tasks that match your interests and availability so you can contribute to camp organization. 

Share request/questions on [https://discord.com/channels/932718953892040734/935966495996002315 this Discord channel] or through a [[#Members|current]] Camp Cell Member. 

==Communication==
- Camp Cell Members collaborate mainly through the (private) Camp Cell channel on [https://discord.com/channels/932718953892040734/1138195014120382486 Discord] and video calls. 
- Communications with individual campers happen privately through email. 
- Before the playa. Every year before heading to the playa, Camp Cell hosts at least one [[DisOrientation|DisOrientation]] video call that all campers of that year are invited to join to get to know each other and ask questions. 
- In Camp. The Camp info board displays playa names of Camp Cell Members along with [[Playa_Schedule|Playa Schedule]] and playa names of Leads of other Cells i.e. Kitchen, Club House, Power, Sustainability, Music, etc.

Camp Cell

2026-04-16T03:21:39Z

The eye: /* D26 */

The Camp Cell runs Disorient [[Camp|camp]] at Burning Man. 

First implemented in 2022, the Camp Cell replaces the role of Camp Lead of years past. This means that Camp Lead responsibilities are now distributed amongst the active Disorient members in the Camp Cell. This choice emphasizes the collaborative and distributed aspects of Disorient.

==Organization==
1. Camp Cell activity starts at the beginning of each Gregorian calendar year and crescendoes until the Burn. 
2. Prerequisites to become a Camp Cell Member: 
- Successfully led a Cell at Disorient on the playa; 
- Camped with Disorient on the playa for at least 3 years; 
3. Members are invited and/or confirmed by the Directors. 
4. Camp Cell is dissolved after each Burning Man. A new Camp Cell is created each year. 

===Join===
Following our distributed mantra, Camp Cell tasks can usually be broken down into smaller units. There are no preset limits on the number of Camp Cell Members. If you are genuinely interested to serve at the Camp Cell level, please let us know. We will strive to identify tasks that match your interests and availability so you can contribute to camp organization. 

Share request/questions on [https://discord.com/channels/932718953892040734/935966495996002315 this Discord channel] or through a [[#Members|current]] Camp Cell Member. 

==Communication==
- Camp Cell Members collaborate mainly through the (private) Camp Cell channel on [https://discord.com/channels/932718953892040734/1138195014120382486 Discord] and video calls. 
- Communications with individual campers happen privately through email. 
- Before the playa. Every year before heading to the playa, Camp Cell hosts at least one [[DisOrientation|DisOrientation]] video call that all campers of that year are invited to join to get to know each other and ask questions. 
- In Camp. The Camp info board displays playa names of Camp Cell Members along with [[Playa_Schedule|Playa Schedule]] and playa names of Leads of other Cells i.e. Kitchen, Club House, Power, Sustainability, Music, etc.
