==Disorient is a collective==
Disorient is a [[sound]], visual and performance art collective. We create [[art projects]] and [[art installations]] with hardware including [[Geodesic Temple|wood]], scaffolding, [[Pallet_rack|palette rack]], [[Container|containers]], [[Watershed|recycled materials]], [[Body_Painting_Cell|your body]], Raspberry Pi, [[dome|geodesic domes]], [http://www.akairways.com inflatable structures], [[video]], repurposed objects, black lights and [[dex|vehicles]]. We develop [https://github.com/disorient software] for our installations.


We debuted the “Club House,” our new pentagon-shaped multi-story pallet rack frontage structure complete with Pornj velvet couches and [[GlamTech|GlamTech]] decor. By day, the Club House served as a performance space for our Dry Lakebed Synchronized Swimming Team and shaded haven for AMP’D yogis, who were treated to [[Frozen Minty Towels|Frozen Minty Towels]] after their invigorating practice.<BR>
[[Image:campers2012.jpg|900px]]<BR>


At night, the Club House transformed into an illuminated beacon, featuring glimmering LEDs on the DISORIENT sign and Helios bars, incandescent Pornj lighting, and a sky-high laser programmed to spell out D-I-S-O-R-I-E-N-T in Morse code. DISORIENT music played all week long through a pristine sound system, with the Wayward Teahouse offering a peaceful respite from the revelry during three late-night parties.<BR>
Our guiding principles are outlined in the [[Disorient Model]] and in the [[Political Economy of Disorient|Political Economy of Disorient]]. Disorient is an open creative platform powered by love.<BR>

Across the Esplanade, our Art Car Dock was the home base for the D’enT and the Dang Gang, which together made up the Sign On Wheels. These spectacular Mutant Vehicles transported both participants and the D19ORIENT Video Sign — 1.2 million pixels of LEDs programmed with mesmerizing video art — on unforgettable journeys across the playa.<BR>

The immersive Fire Defractor installation served as a lighthouse of sorts, where participants could enjoy ambient sound and holographic sculptures in a plush lounge space. Fire and flow artists from DISORIENT and the Ministry of Flow teamed up for two special performances: the full dress rehearsal for the Fire Conclave and an open fire jam set to a special musical lineup.<BR>

During daily DISORIENT-it-Yourself workshops in the Dis|Co Lounge, special guest artists taught participants to make resin jewelry, illuminated headwear, LED blinkie pendants, holographic sculptures, and silk-screened t-shirts. This was also the site of the Pornj Costume Swap on Monday night, where camp exchanged hundreds of Pornj and Glam Tech costume items and accessories.<BR>

On Tuesday, DISORIENT hosted the Cultural Collaborators Cocktail Party, a celebration of those who help spread Burning Man culture around the world. DISORIENT was the first Theme Camp ever to host this special event, which is a reflection of the extraordinary contributions our collective makes in Black Rock City and beyond.<BR>

We followed this up with another legendary iteration of the Tuesday night BBQ, a multi-meat feast (and family reunion) that was not to be missed. Our beloved speakeasy [[Duke’s]] returned once again, serving up freshly made cocktails, late-night jams from the Morning Fucking Dews and some very special guests, and its incomparable brand of playa magic.<BR>
Members of the DISORIENT community built art beyond the borders of camp, including the large-scale interactive Archaeopteryx installation and whimsical Deep Tea cart.<BR>

In deep playa, the [[Temple_of_Brad_Pitt|Temple of Brad Pitt — this year’s iteration of the Geodesic Temple]] —  invited participants to briefly experience what it is to be the famous Hollywood actor. Thanks to a top-notch burn crew and tight perimeter of 70+ DISORIENTers, [[Temple_of_Brad_Pitt#Burn|TOBRIT burned late on Friday night]], leaving behind only the steel Ark and memories of brattpitizations past. This was the perfect lead-in to two very special burns: the explosive Man burn on Saturday night, and the visually stunning Temple of Direction burn on Sunday night.<BR>

Disorient is a camp at Burning Man

Disorient has been a camp at Burning Man since 2001.

D25

In 2025 our camp was located at Esplanade & 2:45. Land dimensions were 200 ft. wide by 400 ft. deep.
We were 223 campers. Camp planning discussion took place on Disorient Discord.
D25.CampPhoto.jpg

Building on the success of D24's 'Spinal Tarp', D25's Urban Plan 'Full Send' retained the central spinal element, made of four pairs of containers. Disorientations enabled campers to contribute to D25 by becoming active participants.
20250802.DisorientUP.1.jpg 20250806.D25Disorientation.8.jpg

For D25, efficiency improvements were realized by rotating central containers 90 degrees, allowing easier access during alpha, burn week, and disengage.
D25.DisorientContainers.5.jpg

This new arrangement also enabled more efficient use of our lot, allowing the inclusion of the Phoenix Sauna, Martin's D25 Photo Studio, Fire Art installation, increased shade coverage for camper's quarters, and an enclosed space for Duke's.
D25.DisorientDukes.1.jpg D25.DisorientDukes.2.jpg

We placed our new Bedouin Tent directly behind Club House, filled with cushions and our dining tables. This space became a central gathering point for campers to commune, rest and dance. It also hosted the Disorient Talks throughout the week.



Directly adjacent to the Bedouin Tent was our new 20'x20' Kitchen Tentology and our Trash Fence Palace, which hosted the Tea House.
D25.Kitchen.1.jpg D25.TeaHouse.3.jpg

To accommodate the new CoSign configuration, Club House was rotated 36 degrees, and thickness of the two adjoining CoSign-supporting walls reduced. Continuing with evolution, D25's CoSign, facing Esplanade, expanded to spell DiS.

The DJ booth was also repositioned to face camp, inviting campers to gather in the Bedouin Tent and Club House.

The Disorient It Yourself (DIY) area, located between two shipping containers, hosted a fully supplied Pornj Clothing Exchange and a die sublimation station where participants could decorate (preferably synthetic) clothing items with an array of designs from the Disorient Graphics collection.
D25.PornjClothingExchange.6.jpg D25.PornjClothingExchange.4.jpg

Our pentagonal Club House, filled this year with the sound of an incredibly on-point Void system, hosted many events, dozens of DJs as well as a daily midday iteration of Amp'd Yoga.

D25 identity


Disorient is a collective

Disorient is a sound, visual and performance art collective. We create art projects and art installations with hardware including wood, scaffolding, palette rack, containers, recycled materials, your body, Raspberry Pi, geodesic domes, inflatable structures, video, repurposed objects, black lights and vehicles. We develop software for our installations.

Our guiding principles are outlined in the Disorient Model and in the Political Economy of Disorient. Disorient is an open creative platform powered by love.


Our contribution to the vernacular includes Pornj and GlamTech.

Disorient ecosystem

When we are not on the Playa, we organize events, retreats and happenings. Funds raised during those events help support our art projects on and off playa. Following our economic model, 100% of profit is reinvested in Disorient.

Those include Country Club (since 2011) upstate New York, Bedouin Tech (2014-2018) in the desert of Dubai and Fun Tsang (since 2016) on the beach of a tiny uninhabited tropical island of Hong Kong. Those outdoor camping retreats last several days and are aligned with the Burning Man ethos. In September 2021 we organized the first Burning Mantap in Bali, Indonesia.

Our first fundraisers outside the US happened in 2009 in Brazil and Argentina

Thousands of DOers (DisOrienters) have camped with Disorient at Burning Man since 2001. About half of those campers are in the US. The other half is distributed in dozens of other countries. We use Discord and other platforms to stay connected.
