Disorient is an art collective. We create art projects and art installations with hardware including wood, scaffolding, palette rack, containers, recycled materials, your body, LEDs, geodesic domes, inflatable structures, video, repurposed objects, black lights and vehicles. We develop software for our installations (DMX sequencing, MAX, Java, C, etc.). Our guiding principles are outlined in the Disorient Model.
Disorient is a camp at Burning Man.
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!
Disorient is also about sound and performance. In addition to our residents we invite DJs to play on our sound system. During the week of Burning Man, usually on Thursday, we set-up a live music stage and invite bands to perform. When we are not on the Playa, we organize parties to raise funds for our camp and for the Burning Man Organization.
As of April 2009, Disorient has over 700 members, 50% US East Coast, 25% West Coast/Central US and 25% outside the US, including members in the UK, Russia, Israel, Canada, Hong Kong, Sweden, France, Japan and Germany. We stay connected through our discussion board: The Puddle.
