an installation by Geodesic Temple at Burning Man 2022, if all goes well...
Description
The Temple of Zero Gravity (Tozty) is the progeny of Geodesic Temple and the Zero Gravity Chair.
Tozty is composed of a wooden octahedral structure framing rows of elongated wooden Zero Gravity Chairs, the Zero G Sofas. The sculpture rests on a single point--one of the vertices of the main octahedron. Burners who climb up the stairs inside the lower edges of the structure to access upper levels can then recline on the Zero G Sofas. Those sofas are designed to alleviate some of the sensations of gravity making them precious waking dreams enablers if you will.
Inspired by NASA's design to minimize the trauma that the thrust of a Saturn V lift-off could inflict on the body of the astronauts, Disorient's Zero G Chairs distributes the weight of the body evenly on the surface of the chair. Once you forget your body, sky's the limit.
Zero G Chairs have been part of our visual vocabulary since Disorient's inception at the very beginning of the second millennium.
