The Eleventh (CCXI) (DRAFT)

Spire (Burning Man 2022)

Weight: 1200 Lbs
Dimensions: 8' x 8' x 48'
Spire will be painted as shown on images below
Lights: Spotlights at top and bottom + ~200 Solpix v.0.3 at the top

Geodesic Temple Spire will bed built at BM22.

Spire (https://wiki.disorient.info/index.php?title=Geodesic_Temple_Library#Spire_.28Burning_Man_2022.29) is a type of GeoTem which explores a new assembly technique involving asymmetrical octahedra. It’s something we’ve never done before and requires extra attention to details when making the connections between wooden studs to create the octahedra.

Spire will be painted, which is uncommon for GeoTem, but it will not be burned. It is a smaller endeavor than TOBRIT as we focus our efforts and energy in camp this year.

Spire build is scheduled to start on Tuesday of alpha week. Octahedra assembly (cutting and painting 2x4 studs and connecting them with Simas Connectors) will be done in camp. Connecting octahedra together into Spire will take place in front of camp where the structure will then be erected, tentatively on Friday.

Color coding for building reference only.

Temple of Brad Pitt - Minecraft edition (Burning Man 2020)

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Burning Man 2020 did not take place in Nevada's Black Rock Desert. Instead, several virtual versions of Burning Man were created online based on different 3D technologies. Disorient participated to a couple of those worlds while Geodesic Temple decided to focus on the Minecraft version. read more

Temple of Brad Pitt (TOBRIT) (Burning Man 2019)

The Temple of Brad Pitt channels the famous Hollywood actor. It captures Brad Pitt’s aura, extracts the essence of his being through data gathering and redisplays it as a performative sculpture at Burning Man 2019 enabling participants who enter a special apparatus to briefly experience what it is to be him. read more

Tetrax (Burning Man 2016)

COMPONENTS:
(13) octahedra

NOTES:
- Uses wood and connectors from GAX.
- Assembly/disassembly required DPW crane for 4 hours
- Disassembly required DPW crane for 2 hours

TEMPLARS:
Director: The Eye
Producers: The Eye, Trammel H.

The Sixth (Country Club 2016)

Dimensions: 16' wide x 24' high x 16' deep

NOTES:
- First time using OHs of different sizes together in a GeoTem.

Sarcophagus (Bedouin Tech 2016)

3D model: File:GeodesicTempleBedouinTechDubai2016.skp
Dimensions: 1100cm wide x 680cm high x 1070cm deep

COMPONENTS (2 OH contingency included):
(8) octahedra
(96) 400cm long 2x4 studs (sourced in Dubai)
(96) Simas connectors (made in Dubai)
(36) Lowroad connectors (made in Dubai)
(888) 0.25" x 2.5" bolt/washer/nut combo
(96) 380cm white LED strips with power supply and controller

NOTES:
- Sarcophagus is the first GeoTem to use 400cm long wooden studs (previous GeoTems used 8ft. long studs). This means that each OH will require ladders to be assembled. We will need two 300cm ladders.
- Final assembly will require work done at 680cm high so we might need a small cherrypicker for construction and break-down

GeoTemAlpha (Disorient presents: GLAMTECH)

GeoTemAlpha is the first Geodesic Temple to be built. It is a proof of concept made of seven octahedra that form approximately half of GeoTem04. It uses the Lowroad Single Stud Cord design. 2x4 studs are assembled into octahedra using the Simas Connector version 1. It is painted fluorescent pink. Produced by Preston and Jay.
Height: 15' Length: 27' Width: 30'. 12 studs x 7 octahedra = 84 2x4x8' studs.

GeoTem03

Height: 36 feet. 24 studs x 57 octahedra = 1368 2x4x8' studs.

GeoTem 01, 02

<videoflash type="youtube">XbSmkNHScLg|330|228</videoflash>

Height: 91 feet. All icosahedra are the same size.
