==Description==
Disorient's Collaborative Sign (CoSign) is made of clusters of wooden 3D pixels designed to be supported by a metal structure (pallet rack, scaffolding, etc.). Each pixel is a wooden box 23" wide x 23" tall x 11" deep.<BR>


The letter "D" is composed of 54 pixels organized in clusters of 2x3 pixels. Those clusters are stackable for transportation and storage as shown in illustration.<BR>
For the collaborative aspect, beyond the fact that this Sign is fabricated by an evolving group of DOers, campers are invited to create a [[Pornj|pornj]] object (2D or 3D) that fits inside a pixel (23" wide x 23" tall x 10" deep) and leaves room for the light in the center. That object is a visual and/or written description (sculpture, painting, collage, written words...) of a memorable Disorient experience. Some pixels could also be used as dioramas for objects from the [[Disorient_Museum|Disorient Museum]].<BR>

It’s a 12 rack - so you’re at 60 dimmers total<BR>
It’s a 12 rack - so now you’re at 60 dimmers total<BR>


Then you use this type of cable to go to the bulbs<BR>
I gotta ask for a price quote. Renting big dimmers likely less expensive than buying small ones - unless you already have the small ones.<BR>
https://www.usedlighting.com/86/12-14-multi-cable-150-
12/14 Multi Cable 150' | Cable on UsedLighting.com
Buy 150' 12/14 Multi Cable that are in good condition, have been maintained by our certified technicians and come with a 180-day warranty. Each cable is tested, cleaned, rolled, and tied before shipping.<BR>
Each of these has 6 dimmers in one cable and uses these to branch out to the bulbs<BR>
https://www.usedlighting.com/14467/edison-break-out-6-
Edison Break-Out 6' | Break-Ins / Break-Outs on UsedLighting.com<BR>
And then you buy a porcelain socket that’s surface mountable , the bulb and the connector<BR>

https://www.usedlighting.com/86/12-14-multi-cable-150- (750 USD)<BR>
This is a purchase and you have to buy a microSD card for it<BR>
https://www.usedlighting.com/14467/edison-break-out-6- (140 USD)<BR>


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 for ever or if it’s in camp you just go turn it on.<BR>
===Small generator===
https://www.aqlightinggroup.com/outdoor-lighting/landscape-accessories/timers-controllers/commercial-grade-photocell/<BR>
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<BR>
https://www.aqlightinggroup.com/outdoor-lighting/landscape-accessories/timers-controllers/multi-mode-astronomic-timer-yl-t120v/<BR>


====Small generator====
DIMMER PURCHASE (2,000 USD)<BR>
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.<BR>
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.<BR>
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<BR>
RIGHT!! So if you’re out in playa and you have a little genny and you need little genny compatible dimmers. Then 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.<BR>

https://goknight.com/Chauvet-dj-dmx-4/<BR>


RENT VS BUY<BR>
DATA CABLE<BR>
So with small genny - you gotta BUY the dimmers - that’s 2,000 USD then like 350 USD for the cable and 550 USD for the connectors and 300 USD for the bulbs and 175 USD for the sockets<BR>
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<BR>
Rental- I gotta ask for a price quote. But renting the big dimmers likely less expensive than buying the small ones - but you can prob re use the small ones for other projects in the future.<BR>

A Collaborative Sign by Disorient campers
An installation by the CoSign Cell
Composed by The Eye in 2019

Description

Disorient's Collaborative Sign (CoSign) is made of clusters of wooden 3D pixels designed to be supported by a metal structure (pallet rack, scaffolding, etc.). Each pixel is a wooden box 23" wide x 23" tall x 11" deep.

For the collaborative aspect, beyond the fact that this Sign is fabricated by an evolving group of DOers, campers are invited to create a pornj object (2D or 3D) that fits inside a pixel (23" wide x 23" tall x 10" deep) and leaves room for the light in the center. That object is a visual and/or written description (sculpture, painting, collage, written words...) of a memorable Disorient experience. Some pixels could also be used as dioramas for objects from the Disorient Museum.

CoSign at D24

In 2024 we add the letter i and three dots to make a "Di..." CoSign expanding on last year's "D"

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. A jigsaw can be used to make those cuts.

CoSign at D22

Cell lead: IceCream
After a successful "i" test at CCX, we present the "D" as part of the frontage of Disorient Camp at Burning Man 2022.
"D" CoSign ran 100% on solar, part of our Sustainability_Efforts.


The letter "D" is composed of 54 pixels organized in clusters of 7 and 8 pixels. Those clusters are stackable for transportation and storage.

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:

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:

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.

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

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:

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:
