Camp

by members of Disorient

Disorient is a camp at Burning Man
To camp with Disorient you need to register.

2009 (Disori9nt)

The Art Car Wash is an interactive zone for art cars, art car drivers, and anyone who wants to buff their bumpers. All art cars on the playa will be invited to drive through the "wash" where other playa participants will be waiting to greet them, mock "wash" their cars, and groove to the sound of daytime disco. The Art Car Wash will consist of two rows of platforms, creating a lane which art car drivers can pass through, and filled with spinning fuzzy playa versions of the washers and wipers found in a typical car wash. Of course they won't actually be washing the cars, but participants are welcome to bring spray bottles to mist the passengers. Ater passing through the wash, drivers will be able to park and join the fun as the music plays throughout the day. Disorient will get the wash started every day, but all other playa participants are invited to play a role with towels, misters, or just themselves.

Art Car Wash Crew
(Tejawe’s running)

You will be helping build, maintain and takedown Disorient’s biggest art project at Burning Man this year. Crew will be called on to keep all the parts of the wash moving smoothly and cleanly. There will be dancing and faux-cleaning, but there will also be a lot of work keeping this up and running during the hottest part of the playa day. Crew participants will need to be available DURING THE DAY to ensure the Art Car Wash runs smoothly.

Camp Team
(Project Leader - who will step up to the challenge?)

Group leaders
Urban Plan Layout: The Eye
RV Placement: Elijah
Container Unpacking/Packing: Ocean
Power Ranger (Generators): Tejawe
Showers/Evap Pool: Thunderstick
RV Pumping: (Cocooned)
Zero-G Construction: ?
Dome Decoration: ?
Shade Czar: ?

We can't be a theme camp without having a camp! The camp team will be involved in all aspects of camp organization and maintenance. Disngage will handle breakdown, but the better we start and maintain, the better we'll finish.

From camp & RV placement to generators, dome building and deco, if it is involved in the day-to-day and building of disorient, it's your bailiwick.

Team members will be the glue that keeps the camp running as we move from arrival through to the Burn and then Monday's disngage. Join the camp team and ensure disorient rocks it.

DEX (Disorient Express)
(Team leader TBD)
DEX Transportation: ?
DEX Registration: Archer
Sound Czar: Clare Large
DJ Booking: Sultan
DEX Daily Managers: ?
DEX Transformation: ?

The DEX is our mobile sexy house party art car. During the day, it will provide the sound for the Art Car Wash. At night, it will prowl the playa.

If you're on the DEX team, you'll be making sure everything is running smoothly before, during and after each playa run.

Duties include cleaning, set up, perimeter control, helping the dj and sound crew, and making sure signage and art is intact and badass. You'll be at the DEX parties, but need to be able and willing (i.e. functional) as needed to assist the DEX.

Kitchen Team
Meal Plan Coordinator: Cherry
Kitchen Construction: Shaggy
Water Tank?: Aura
Trash Czar: Could Be You!

While everyone in Disorient is expected to contribute to at least one campwide meal, the Kitchen Team will ensure the kitchen is contructed and help make sure each meal runs as smooth as can be.

Kitchen Construction is exactly what it sounds like. Team members need to arrive early to build the kitchen. If the kitchen needs to expand, shrink or be redone in any way during the week, this will be your responsibility, too.

The Meal Plan team will help make sure that each meal is cooked, served and cleaned up daily. This will include maintaining the kitchen, water, trash, recycling and serving needs.

At the end of each day, bags of trash may be assigned to RVs, trucks, and cars to take away at the end of the week. All campers will be required to take away as many bags of camp trash/recycling as possible. The Trash Czar will oversee this process.

What better way to participate than make sure each disorienter eats well because of you?

Team Disngage
(No project leader yet - though OCEAN is the mistress of MOOP)

You are the goto team for making sure that disorient gets broken down, recycling & trash gets taken away, loaded up, cleaned up, deMooped, in the container and off the playa.

You are the DOers of all DOers. Everyone is responsible for helping get our camp packed away and cleaned up, but you'll be relied upon to really make sure it all happens.

This is one of the most important part of disorient, and is crucial to our participation in Burning Man!

2008 (Di8orient)

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!
